Com Radio Problems - Sep 2008

I finally dug into the problem and started tracing wires after completely l=
oosing the ability to transmit with the right stick.=A0 I quickly found a p=
roblem with one of the two wires from the PTT.

distortions.

roblem with one of the two wires from the PTT on the right stick, where one=
 of those wires came out of a harness and was being pinched by the control =
system.=A0 The signal was being sent to ground as well as through the trans=
mit circuit, which I believe contributed to the squeal.=A0 Eventually this =
problem manifested itself into a complete "open", denying me any ability to=
 transmit through the PTT on the right stick.=A0 I've recently removed this=
 bad wire and replaced it with a new one which appears to have solved my pr=
oblem.=A0=20

Rob,

Thank you for relaying your experiences.  I've talked with a couple of ra=
dio shops and they both think that if I'm only getting the squeal on some=
 freqs and not others that very likely it's not the radio but the install=
ation.  The squeal occurs in the 118, 119 and the 129 range but doesn't o=
ccur other places.  I'm working on it.

Ron
