HT1000 wiil not transmit on programmed frequencies

[Lake Trader]

I have an HT1000 VHF model with the AN suffix. Model and serial numbers match per the RSS. Problem is the radio will only transmit on the programmed receive frequencies, not the transmit frequencies. I have some experience with programming these radios and have never run in to this problem. Could there be some anomaly with this radio? I think I have double checked the programming but have come up empty. Anyone have any ideas. Thanks, JIm

Sounds like it's in talkaround mode

Definitely not in talkaround.

Make sure talkaround is disabled on all modes and on the mode switch selection menu, could be the three position switch is "stuck" in talkaround. Since this is an AN revision radio it is over 20 years old and the AN build did not have a "test mode" like BN and subsequent models you have no way of testing the control top using test mode. All indications are your radio is selecting talkaround on all your channels.

Guess he/she got it figured out.

Thanks for your suggestions. I solved the problem by cloning from another radio and then entering my info and saving. Still do not know why the original problem occurred but now I transmit on the programmed frequencies.

My bet would be on the VCO going out of lock due to poor tuning of the radio. Cloning may have put the tuning into range and allowed the radio to work. With you not providing any frequency info on where you were trying to operate the radio, this is just pure speculation.

I think Jim is onto something.
Being that is is an AN version, it is at least a 1993 vintage radio, and chances are it has never been on a service monitor in years.

Even a NOS radio may need tuning, I have an HT1000 UHF "AN" with a June 1993 build date that was a Fed spare I bought off eBay for CHEAP ($12).

It was way off on RX (like 400Hz freq error) and required a complete front end BPF alignment to get it to spec. As components age, so does tuning.
