[SMCARA] Wouxun KG-UV899

[Chris Ordiway]

Howdy all,

I have a problem with my Wouxun KG-UV899 HT that I received from the club
after passing my Tech exam. During the Net last night it went dead, I think
as I was beginning to key the PTT, and hasn't been alive since. I've
detached and reattached the battery but no change. If I put it on the
charger it comes to life and the battery shows full capacity, which the
charger base agrees with with a green light. But as soon as I remove it
from the charger it flatlines.  Anyone else had any issues with this HT?
And is there someone who has the same HT that would meet me out someplace
(at your convenience) so I could try their battery on my radio to help
diagnose the source of the problem? I don't want to bother buying a new
battery if the radio is the issue. I've prowled the interwebs for an answer
but am coming up dry.

Thanks gang,
Chris - KC3DIG
