An easy fix

Post by NightProwler »

So after I raised my X200 up an extra 8 feet the other week I thought I would just check the SWR quick, The radio is a 2M Kenwood TM241E, If any one knows these radios then you probably know that the screens always go crazy, A nice little feature that Kenwood decided to include :roll:
Mine has been doing it for years but after a few minutes it comes back, Then it might go again, Anyway after turning it on to check the SWR it played up badly, Screen going crazy so I did what most red blooded males would do, I shouted at it and threw the mic at it, It scratched the screen but ever since it's been perfect. Tidy :thumbup:

It's been roughly 5 or 6 months now (Can't work out the maths...too much Guinness) since I 'repaired' the screen on my Kenwood and it's still behaving :thumbup:
