Troubleshooting 

We hope you’ll never get to  this step.  We all know bad things happen but do not despair! There is some basic polarity 
protection,  the  1ohm  thru-hole  resistor  closer  to  supply  power  connector  is  the  first  thing  to  check.  Also  make  sure 
microphone/shielded  audio  cable  leading  from  MPX  output  to  the  transmitter  is  not  shorted.  Next  check  the 
troubleshooting table on the next page. If you have problems you cannot solve yourself, please see our website for contact 
information and support resources in our forum.
