Hope this is the right forum for this. I bought this handheld for wheeling, but if there's a better forum for this I'll move it there.

After using it for 6 months, all of sudden it wouldn't transmit to other radios in the group. I keep it pretty basic in it's settings, all the codes are off. I tried it with some older basic Motorolas I have, which can communicate with each other just fine. No go. I received a new one today, body only. Same thing. Codes are off. I'm at a loss here, am I doing something wrong I'm just ignorant of?

Thx

Your second radio was just the body, no antenna, so you're using the same antenna from the dead radio? Maybe the antenna is damaged?

I know this isn't a ham radio, but there are some smart people in the ham radio forum that could probably help you.
