:shock: A woman here in town went to bed at 12:15am and accidently hit the lock button on her microphone. It has been almost 9 hours straight that the Johnson mobile 40 channel SSB radio has been dead keying. How long should it hold out before it lets go? I have seen people's radios dead key for 2 hours with no problems, But I have never seen a 9 hour run. I hope her radio doesnt fry, Hopefully she will wake up and notice it is keyed. Will any permanent damage happen from being keyed that long?
