How's your TX range ? One of the common problems with the HT600 type radios is the
antenna to PCB contact sometimes breaks if the radio is dropped. Don't get me wrong- it's a workhorse that can take a beating but if there is a failure this is one of the more common problems. This problem would effect your Rx and Tx.

thanks for the reply.

I really hadn't noticed my TX distance. If that's the case, is it easy or inexpensive to repair?

Hi:

As the other fellow indicated, the Antenna
Pin to the PC board is a problem with the
HT600/P200 series of radios.

That is a Easy Fix

There is also problems found around the
Antenna Tx-Rx Transfer Module, in that the
one with that gold hat, has a ceramic piece
that tends to break along with the 3 Contacts
that run from the top housing to the main PC
Board.

There is also a " Ground" Pin ( Hard to see )
which is loctaed very close to the Channel
Selector that becomes flaky....and that too
needs to be reslodered from time to time.

If your radio is OK from above, I would then
suspect your radio may need a realighnmnet
of the front end.

On rare occasions, I have found the Antennas
to be bad also. ( Rubber Coating OKm but
the Solder around the base ) is cracked

I just want to thank Monty again for his help. I soldered a wire, as you suggested, and put it back together. I will field test it in the next few weeks. Thanks again!
