Gme 600 Vhf

[beefa12001]

I have GME VHF 600 and it appears that whenever I press the talk button a beeping noise is heard and stays on until the button is released. Has anyone ever seen this before and could provide some advice on how to fix the problem. I installed the radio around 12 months ago but never used it until a few weeks ago when I tried to get a radio check from VMR but could not transpond. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Matt

Thanks MyWay, only problem is that mine is now out of warranty. I'm thinking about scrapping it, buying a new one and counting my losses but just thought I'd check to see if anyone could help first. Matt

TRANSMITTING

Release the Press to Talk (PTT) when you have finished talking.
Transmission time is controlled by a time-out timer.
If the PTT is held for more than 90 seconds, a low beep will be heard and the transmitter will be disabled to prevent accidental jamming of the channel frequency.

To reset the timer simply release the PTT.

Note: The transmitter is disabled on CH 70.
If the PTT is pressed a low beep will be heard and the PTT will be ignored

Hope this helps.
