XTS5k: upside down and backwards display
Anyone seen it? I thought there was a thread on it but couldn't find it. Had it happen on one of mine yesterday.
Lowband radio. The original and non-complicated wide area interoperable communications system
Re: XTS5k: upside down and backwards display
Yeah, its a Panter88 build. Been pretty good for over the year, but I haven't used it much. 700/800 FWIW. I'll have to post a pic when I get a chance.
I thought of the wrong band display, but I only recalled the displays blanking etc on TX.

Re: XTS5k: upside down and backwards display
Would this bullentin apply to a radio that the display scrambles only when transmitting or is there another problem, possibly, like RF getting into the display.
