So the Transmitter is out for sure and the speaker lead is grounding or coming off ground or something like that but it locks up the <strong>TNC<\/strong> as though it was hearing signal all the <strong>time<\/strong> so no transmit possible.&#160; Oh boy that hurts. I went to <strong>check<\/strong> my VX8R in the jeep and it was locked up in receive but it was just noise but it was sure hot.&#160; I turned it off, let it cool, got the squelch set back up a little and it all seems to work fine\u2026 Hopefully I didn\u2019t damage it in the <strong>process<\/strong> but it appears to be <strong>working<\/strong> including the <strong>APRS<\/strong> part.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>Like I said, if it wasn\u2019t for bad <strong>luck<\/strong> I wouldn\u2019t have any <strong>luck<\/strong> these days\u2026 I am looking for a short streak of good <strong>luck<\/strong> any <strong>time<\/strong> now\u2026 maybe I should go get a lottery ticket and hope all my <strong>luck<\/strong> comes in on that <strong>one<\/strong>?&#160; I know silly thought, I haven\u2019t won anything on a lottery ticket, or any <strong>thing<\/strong> for that <strong>matter<\/strong>, in so long I forgot what winning felt like. <\/p>\n<p>One <strong>thing<\/strong> did happen today that was a <strong>bit<\/strong> <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>funny<\/strong> and sure wish I had the camera.&#160; I took wife to hospital to get some liquid intestine stuff for a scan <strong>tomorrow<\/strong>\u2026 While I was waiting outside the hospital admin and the City Animal control <strong>guy<\/strong> came out poking around in the bushes in front\u2026 I saw something move under them but at first couldn\u2019t figure out what it was.&#160; Maybe a cat?&#160; But then why would they be so worried about a cat?
