turn it on and the volume is immediately loud and crackling. it's so loud at no volume I just turn it off, it's too loud to even just listen.
any thoughts?
nice. I was hoping for something easy like that. swapped it out today after 2 weeks without a radio. probably look at it monday.
hope I can find the parts at the local shop.
I gave it a quick test with the multi and as soon as it turns on there's no resistance through the whole volume range.
now I just have to get it out of there, and figure out another 13$ purchase to meet the minimum 20$ order.
Before you spend the $$$ on a new pot, disconnect the pot and determine if the short is in the pot or the board. Hard to imagine how a carbon-based pot would short out.
unwired the switch, and as soon as you click it on, no resistance through the whole volume range.
it was a pain trying to rack up $20 at rf parts so I ordered off ebay for 12.95 total. seller is in alabama.
all fixed.
though ordered on ebay from barkett electronics, they do have a separate webpage - http://stores.goldeneagleradios.com/ . ordered sunday, shipped the correct part monday.
