My Feedback: (20)

I just got my old, faithful JR 347 back from a tuneup and replacement of the lithium battery. All the programming was lost so I started reloading it. I had the, maybe not so bright, idea to do the reprogramming with the DSC cable plugged in so that I would not use a lot of battery power with the RF section transmitting while I was reprogramming. I ended up with the following situation. When the transmittter is turned on, the "master" screen shows as if the radio were being used as the master in a buddy box mode. This happens even without the DSC or trainer cord plugged in. I cannot get the normal screen with the model name to appear, so I'm not 100% sure what model memory is active. The RF function seems to work, but I have not thoroughly checked it out to confirm variations from different models. The DSC function will no longer work at all. I have tried "RESETING" all the model memories to get back to the factory defaults, but this problem with the trainer function did not go away.

Any suggestions?

Sounds like the connector on the antenna pcb is damaged internally and is telling the CPU that it is in trainer mode.
