Anyone know of some one who is willing to work on a VX5?. It transmits , the menus work , the speaker had audio but it receives nothing - even if keying a ht next to it .
Do you hear noise when you open the squelch? Is there any indication of signal, like a bar graph S-meter or busy light?
Keying an HT right next to it is probably overloading and desensing the receiver in the VX5. Have you tried having someone take the HT outside and then see if the VX5 receives the signal?
