[Motorola] possible MT-500 abuse?

Mon, 8 Apr 2002 15:29:46 -0400 (EDT)

Well, thatmay be, but when you first start transmitting for about half a
second it transmits with the PL.  I was also referring to the housing case
that the electronicsare in just below the speaker.  You have to hold the
bottom together in order to transmit and receive with the PL, and even
that is having to be in the right place on the radio.  Then, the other
MT-500 I have will transmit with a PL, but noaudio, another bad mic
element?
