The fault that wasn’t

25 April 2012 | by Juilian G4ILO  |  Leave a Comment (1)

I thought my Baofeng UV-3R+ had developed a fault today. Whenever I changed channel the rig went into transmit.

Eventually I realized that the VOX was turned on. The clicks from the rotary channel knob were triggering it! Doh! I think I’m getting too dumb for this game.
