Hey folks,
Have an issue I have not seen for awhile.
Spectra with squelch at 15 in software is still opening up at .16 uV.
Problem appears to be on RF board.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
TONIC

Will,
That was looked at.
The issue is the level coming from the RF board.
It is not the same as a known good board with normal settings and squelch behavior.
The RF board was changed first and the problem cleared.
Now I am looking at the parts off of U301 to determine why the difference. U301 is good by the way.
Thanks again for the feedback. I let you know what I find.

Spectra squelch
I would like to hear what you find, I have the exact same problem on one of my Spectra's, it can be a pain when scanning as the radio unsquelches very easily. Was wondering if as these radios age they will start to exibit common issues like this.
Thanks,

Spectra age.
Hello.
The spectra has real crap for caps!.
The things WILL leak, and damage traces on the board if not replaced.
