This radio emits normal POST tone then immediately bonks once. Rx & tx normally. Does anyone know what this thing is trying to say??

Thx

Yeah, if its a 16 pin radio, then check the ignition sense jumper.

I'm sorry.......check it for what? The radio is setup for ignition power. Main power is constant. Apply ign power....bee-bonk!

There needs to be a jumper between pins 7 & 9 to avoid that bonk.

This should fix your bonk, it is for the emergency switch.

Hey Sarge, it bonks because you've got that officer's EGA up as your photo, brother! "You're out of uniform, Marine!" ;)

Off topic, I know, but.... I kid!! I kid!!!
