Hi,

I have a Uniden Grant running as a base station, with a Leson power
desk
mic
connected.

I heard a station loud and clear just now, and I keyed the desk mike
to
reply. Probably only transmitted for about two seconds, long enough to
say
"Hello there, loud station".

But now the reception volume is incredibly low. Either on the internal
speaker or with an external speaker connected. You need to turn the
volume
pretty much flat out and then can only just make out the audio.

I discovered that my young daughter had wound up the knob on the Leson
desk
mic to about three-quarters the way round. I usually have it on about
one
notch out of ten, something like that.

I suspect that I've fried something inside with such a large power
setting
on the desk mic. Is this feasible? Have I literally overloaded the
transmitter by having the desk mic power so high? And why would that
cause
a
problem with the receiver audio output?

Thanks for any ideas!

Mark.





Hey, theres an improvement. He's (it) has found the caps lock key or is it
just a mellow mood ??

Yeah probably one of those 10 farad ones. They seem to go bad when over
modulated.



On the receive chain, right? /sarcasm

Sideband,

You are spot on!

After I sent this message, I replaced the desk mic with the original Uniden
mic and all was well. So I put the desk mic back on and same problem. Then
I realised the mic transmit lock-down lever was part way down, turning off
the receiver, but not quite turning on the transmitter!

Try re-keying the mic.. If you have dirty contacts in the mic, the
receive won't work on the radio...

Failing that, try a different mic.

Failing that, something is wrong with the radio.

Well, I'm glad it wasn't dirty contacts. I wasn't aware your mic had a
lock lever, or I would have suggested checking that, as well!

Electrical tape on the lock lever to keep it "unlocked" might be
advisable. Glad you got it figured out.
