Hi, I have a vx-7r that is about 7.5 years old, but lightly used. It has always worked with no issues. Recently I let it sit in the garage so long that the battery totally discharged. I charged it back up and it seems to function normally except that when tune to a repeater freq, it will not RX any repeater signal. When I TX, it will hit the repeater and I can hear it on another radio I have tuned to the same repeater. The RX circuit does seem to still work because I can RX on simplex freqs between the radios. But when I tune to any repeater freq, TX works, but no RX. It is behaving like it is set to "tone sql", but I checked about 10 times, that it is just set to tone. Am I missing some setting somewhere? Or is this thing broken? Thanks, Mark W6MCO
I did some more research, and I think it might be this issue: http://forums.qrz.com/showthread.php?475966-Need-help-with-VX-7R (failed 450kHz ceramic filter) I will order that part and see if that fixes it. -W6MCO
