Astro Spectra problems
Posted: Tue Jan 21, 2020 1:51 pm
Pretty familiar with Spectra and plenty of other Moto radios. Very Familiar.
Not so much with the Astro Spectra specifically.
Does the Astro low power use the same programming cable as the analog Spectra?
Model is T99DX+089W_ASTRO with an ID of D04KKF9PW5AN.
Setup is Astro Spectra R05.03 that has worked on a consolette, with REAL RIB and home made DB 15 cable that I have used for decades.
Also, have two radios, a UHF analog Spectra, and the above mentioned Astro, and get NO RX audio out of either.
Not one tiny bit.
I am painfully aware of the electrolytics, so will change those.
But, if the previous owner had fried the audio PA (likely) is there an fairly easy way to check that audio IC?
