I JUST BOUGHT A USED SP50 AND THE RADIO WON'T RECIEVE OR TRANSMIT AND THE MONITER AND OPTION BUTTONS ON THE FRONT WILL NOT WORK. I LOADED THE RSS AND PRGRAMMED MY FREQUENCIES I USED AND LEFT THE MONITER BUTTON AS MONITER AND THE OPTION BUTTON AS SCAN/NUSIENCE DELETE AND I STILL WON'T GET A SIGNAL OR TRANSMIT ONE. MODEL #P93YQT20G2AA
THE STRANGE THING IS THAT IT SOUNDS THE BEEP AND EVERYTHING WHEN IT POWERS UP....SO I KNOW IT IS NOT THE SPEAKER ON THE RX END.......ANY HELP PLEASE OR DID I BUY A PIECE OF JUNK????????????????

Did you check to see if it worked before you programmed it?

No....but I've also programmed 3 other used ones w/ no problems.

Hi:

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I would recommend taking the radio apart and see if perhaps it may have " Water Damage"...This can sometimes be seen if a " White" residue is left on the PC Board.

If your radio is " perfect" it should be sqeaky clean inside.

If its clean " Inside" there is a possibility
that the Code Plug may have been corrupted by
a Modification that went sour.

Depending on the radio, it may or may not be
worth while to attempt fixing it. Any Water
Damage seen inside, forget it...It will never
be reliable.

( I have seen lots of them )
