[RadioShack] HTX252 2 meter rig

[Chuck Boyle]

I've had occasional trouble getting into repeaters but always wrote it off
as dead spots and bad antenna positioning. Moving around and re-keying a
few times has always made it work in the past. I'll try the DTMF switch
next time to see what happens and let you know how it went.

I wonder if it could be dust or other pollutants from your environment
getting into the switch and you're cleaning the contacts by switching it
back and forth.

At times, I can be within eyesight of our repeater's antenna and the
transceiver will not key up the repeater. The transceiver is putting out 25
watts as measured and the PL tone is correct. If I switch the DTMF switch
on
the microphone on and off the transceiver will work properly for a while
until it is shut off. When turned back on, the trouble will reappear
approximately 2 out of 3 times. I have owned 2 of these transceivers and
the
trouble showed up in both of them. Has anyone else experienced this and do
you have a fix for it? Thanx and 73, Dave N9XU
