Spectra not coming out of self check

Post by genjrw4 »

Wondering if any one knows whats going on?

I just got a Spectra UHF and when I wired it, the control head(A5) turns on and then fades out and on and never comes out of self check? Any one know whats up?

Thanks,
Jim

Can you read/write it? If it has any trunking systems in it, it may have been inhibited...
