Does anyone know of a person that will fix this little 2 meter rig Burghardt and Amateur electronic Supply both do not service these it has a low output and I can smell that it has something that had gotten warm (HOT) it recieves and Transmits yet but only at 1-2 watts. It was a nice little radio and I will give it to my kids to use providing I can get it fixed Im sure its an easy fix for someone good with these type of radio. Any help appreciated.....Tony

Actually Kenwood made the HTX-212 for Radio Shack. It is based on the Kenwood TM-221/231/241 series radio. I forget exactly which model but they are all similar. I remember a former co-worker showing me his "Kenwood HTX-212" or his "Radio Shack TM-221" whichever he called it
. I paused for a moment and thought WTF are you talking about and then it hit me as soon as I saw the radio. :headbang 
Icom made the HTX-202/404 handhelds for Radio Shack however.

Maxon may have actually put them together but they were basically a rebranded Icom IC-02 and IC-04 respectively.

REPAIR
If my memory recalls...RatShack usually takes them and sends off for repairs to some outfit in Cleveland, Ohio, I believe a number of years ago, I had a 2 mtr radio and the local store sent it off, repaired it and sent back for $55.

This 212 actually a nice lttle mobile and I want to have it fixed if any of you find someone or know someone that will work on them please let me know through a PM if need be I just want it fixed.
The mic is a bit screwy but I found a place that made replacements they just didnt have the push buttons they were just a standard mic with the modular (telephone style plug) end on them I hope I still have the link to the site but Ill worry about that if I can get this unit repaired.

I still need this Radio Shack HTX-212 2 meter radio fixed if anyone knows who will repair it let me know please it has low output like 1 watt or so is where it has dropped to I believe if I remember correctly. Thanks ....Tony
Did you try to replace the final transistor?
I'm no radio repair guru; but I've repaired some radios that showed a 1 watt output with success. Won't say that it will fix it; but if you have the part and the time - maybe you could give it a try.
Just curuious...
