Any one know this place and or have work done there (Live Wire Communications Harrisville, PA)
I got a grant lt that is needing work, I got it hopeing I can get it going.
It lights up but no sound so I tested it as follows,
I hooked up a known good mic, powered it up, all lights work. I have no sound at all, no needle movement at all in receive. I key mic and no meter movement or light change to show transmit. It is the same in am,LSB and USB.
It is acting the same as if there is no mic connected, you know like if you have a grant xl and unhook the mic the lights stay lit but no sound or meter movement.
the only thing I did not try is an external speaker as I dont have one right now. I will get one soon and try it.
thats what I got for now, any ideas so far?
I opened the top cover and seen a black burn mark on the inside cover, looked down on board and solder looks a bit burnt on a spot on the board so I took off the bottom cover and speaker wires are unsoldered and the burnt piece I found looks like the small diode D44. there is also a small board with components on it wraped in foam and black tape. with a sticker saying Live Wire Communications Harrisville PA and Install Preset/ align 4/28/01.
I dont know what a preset is unless it is the board taped up inside.
Any info for me to know whats up? Is this fixable? I sure hope.
I dont know if I posted this in the right section but there it is.
