You cannot transmit
even though you
press the
PTT
switch.
1
You selected a frequency outside the
allowable transmit frequency range.
2
You selected a transmit offset that
places the transmit frequency outside
the allowable transmit frequency
range.
3
The TX Inhibit function is ON.
4
The Tone Alert function is ON.
1
Select a frequency within the
allowable transmit frequency range.
2
Press
[F], [REV]
repeatedly so
neither “+” nor “–” is visible.
3
Switch OFF the TX Inhibit function.
4
Switch OFF the Tone Alert function.

The Automatic Power Off (APO) function
is ON.
Switch OFF the APO function.

Packet operation
results in no
connects with other
stations.
1
Physical connections between the
transceiver, computer, and TNC are
incorrect, or software settings in the
TNC are wrong.
2
Different transmit and receive
frequencies are being used.
Usually,
you must use the same transmit and
receive frequency for packet.
3
The modulation level from the TNC is
incorrect.
4
There is multi-path distortion.
5
The squelch is open.
1
Recheck all connections using this
manual, your TNC manual and your
computer hardware manual as
reference.
2
If using VFO mode, switch OFF the
transmit offset.
If using Memory
Recall, select a simplex memory
channel.
3
Adjust the TNC modulation level
according to the TNC manual.
4
Reorient the antenna.
The
strongest
signal does not always provide the
best operation on packet.
