Guess What!!!
« on: July 03, 2017, 11:07:23 PM »
Just for giggles, I sent an email to TYT about the 3 radios that got their brains scrambled due to a voltage dropout while they were turned on. Apparently, TYT radios don't like to have the voltage drop out and then come right back on. They actually answered me and ask for a picture of the display that's scrambled. Then they sent another email in response to my picture email and asked for my mailing address so they can send me the repair parts. We'll see how this goes. I hope I can get the radios back up and running. That would be great. They are all outside of the 6 month guarantee.

They sent me an email with photos that showed me what parts they would send me if I just paid $21 shipping. Hmmmmm I've got those values of resistors and capacitors in my parts box. However, they want me to change out the Voice Scrambler Integrated Circuit that has 28 legs to be soldered. Say What? I can order that IC off the internet. I might just try ordering the IC and use my own parts and see what happens.

that is odd.  is the chip gullwing or through hole?  SMT is a pain to work with using a pencil iron.
