Loss of dimming control and RCL, Squelch, & Del capabili
Posted: Sat Jan 07, 2006 11:09 am
I'm hoping that somebody can help me with this weird situation...
I have a Spectra Conventional (45-watts) radio with a 9000-series (A9) head. After making some minor channel-programming changes recently, it seems that I can now no longer use the "dim" button to change the level of backlighting. In addition, the RCL, Squelch, and Del buttons no longer work, meaning I am now unable to delete any nuisance channels, nor recall them... and I am also unable to change the level of the squelch threshold... from the control head keyboard.
While this head was working fine before, the programming changes I made seems to have corrupted these features; I've double-checked all of the software settings related to these features and all are as they were before (meaning these features are enabled). I've even tried using different A9 heads and reprogrammed them, all to no avail. It's as if these features simply ceased to exist, after making a few simple frequency changes.
Does anybody have any ideas on where to possibly look next, to bring these features back? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!
Bob
