Problem with a Motorola Ht1250 Low Band

[BerksLieut14]

I have a HT1250 Low Band...when I turn it on...I get a constant squelch it does not go away and it is on all the frequencies...is there something that can be done to fix this...my friend has the programming software..or do I need to take a trip to radio repair. I did drop it a couple times on calls.

can you edit your squelch level via menu option? Is it set for tight or normal squelch level?

[BerksLieut14]

It is set for normal.

What is the small battery for that is on the board? I noticed it when I opened the radio up.

The LiIon coin cell maintains the radio's clock when the normally-used battery is removed.
