I have an FT-50R that I purchased in 1997.  I have not used it for 2
years.  I have turned it on using DC power supply.  The battery is
dead and needs replacement.  I find that when I try to transmit via
using the PTT the LCD flashes and the system BEEPS.  Their have been
no mods made to the radio.  I can recieve just fine.  Has anyone
experienced a problem like this?  Any help would be much appreciated.
