I purchased this awhile back on Ebay and it didn't work properly when rec'd
this appears to be a newer model w/ blue led's
it is complete in factory packaging w/ all accesories &manual
everything seems to work except transmit and meter bar
everything is like new except someone drilled a hole in the case...presumably for echo
Think I could fix this one Lon or anyone? I am reasonably skilled due to previous career as aircraft electrician. Any thoughts? |

Try doing a reset. Push the reset button near the jumpers for expanding channels. Hold it in for a few seconds. That should do it. It worked for me. |

I had a similar problem with my 257, it was the jumper for the channels, it was turned around the wrong way and I had no meter! Take it off turn it around and put it back in the same spot and then try it... |

Loved that radio. It was performer. |
