CDMA Aerial

Me Phantom

The guy who knows everything about nuthin and nuthin about the important things in life. Trusting the people I deal with and wanting to support local business in Bathurst is not the best way to go and it cost me another $180 bucks. Four years laterI have a simple aerial issue with my UHF, not transmitting.

First question from technical peanut was "How long ago was the aerial fitted, it's probably too old now?". Naturally I walked out briskly, now I gotta find someone reliable to do a fix.

Paul, you have probably got a broken centre wire in the co-ax cable.Check with a multimeter to see if you still have continuity in the cable.
Usually a simple fix, by re-terminating the plug on the end of the co-ax (radio end)

Paul, as HTH says, probably a broken wire. I had exactly the same problem a while back. Replaced the aerial with a spare, radio still wouldn't transmit! A local techy found that my radio was damaged as well. He maintained that I had done the damage by continually trying to transmit (effectively) without an aerial attached. Hope you haven't suffered the same fate.

Thanks guys I did send the radio to GME for a checkup, all fine there and I'm awaiting its return so I can have a look at the aerial connections.

It will be a connection problem for sure, I got lazy and paid others for convenience, etc, it should be home tomorrow so I'll get back to you guys on this one. My trouble is I get involved in so much other stuff just to keep the brain ticking that I get slack with the important stuff.

Stu & "Bob" and Lucko you have helped - so I'll get the multimeter out of cobwebs, Fiona is always saying what did you buy this & that for, I just say it's bloke stuff, now I can demonstrate why I bought the multimeter.
