morgy Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hi I have just found out that my Alinco dj v7 is not picking up any transmissions. It will transmit fine. The speaker is working so it not that... When i push the moni button it will pick up static and the green receiving light will come on?? I have tried to scan through channels but will not pick up anything. I have rest the handset back to default settings and still nothing.. Any ideas??

bholleran Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Go to your local dealer and buy some decent kit I am sure that is the advice I was given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan_k Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hi Morgy, As the Moni button works, transmit a signal from another radio and press the Moni button on yours to see if you hear the speech. If you don't (as I'm guessing) then there is probably a faulty component in the receive chain, probably the reference crystal for the second mixer. I'll have a look if you send it over, Cheers, Alan Edit: You said the speaker was working, do you also get the 'noise' on the headset? Just wondering if the plugs and sockets are OK.

morgy Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Hi Alan I was just talking about you with Barry.... This is a very odd problem..... I have had a chance to try it out with steve Haze's radio the exact same model... when the Moni button is pressed you can pick up the signal and hear the voice... Without moni Nothing. We tried the same thing with steve's Spare at the same time as mine and he is getting 5 bar's mine only gets 3 bar signal with Moni Pressed, When i transmit i transmit on 5 bars??? We have swapped antena's still the same . I have restored my radio to the factory setting the very same as steve's radio, Still the same.. I have tried to scan for the past two day's when i am out driving around and have picked up nothing... Any idea's ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_k Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Sounds like the squelch circuit is faulty, or the gain of the receiver is low so the squelch doesn't get opened. When you press the Moni button it defeats the squelch, hence you hear the signal. The radio is faulty Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
