Well first of all I never had an issue using my radio equipment during a mild electrical storm until today. I had a 980ssb hooked up got a phone call , came back and went to tx ..no output..the radio was hotter than hell on the back..I thought to myself..power supply..checked it..13.8v. Put a cobra 200 on there...worked fine, was talking and then the guy across town goes ooh that was a good one, go to answer him..no tx. Hooked up a cobra 25 now....not an issue whatsoever the rest of the night.
I am wondering if the rd16hff1 transistors are so sensitive to static that they fry immediately. I know the 200gtl has it's issues with many people ..but the new uniden!!! This radio has been nothing but flowers for the past month running day and night....what gives.
Anyone else lose radios because of a storm in the area and not even a close strike? Or is it that junk rd16hhf1 mosfet?
