I don't know what this radio is, but perhaps I can help. First of all, 6 watts is output power and has nothing to do with receiving. With such a short transmit distance, my first suspicion is something very wrong with the antenna. Has the SWR on the antenna been checked? Let's start from there.

Have you tried a different michrophone. If you have then the radio will have either a cold solder joint on the main board or a transister has gone bad. The unit will require service at a local radio shop or send to Uniden Service center.

SOURCE: Motorola Talkabout FV700 not transmitting nor receiving

To troubleshoot: Unlock your keypad lock, then reprogram your radios to the following settings. (Check function after each change)
1) Shut off the Interference Eliminator (set to zero).
2) Turn off the Qt filter.
3) Vox setting to off.

By shutting off all the "bells and whistles" of the radio, you will take it back to being just simply on a frequency. If your radios do not communicate with one another then, or with your friend's radios, you have radio which is failing to operate.

If the radios do work in this simple mode. One by one add the special features back until you discover the culprit.

SOURCE: Some bands OK some not. No transmit, no readout on some.

its the problem of the frequency range its getting blocked  at particular location.these can be solved by two options 1)first try changing the location of the unit from one corner to another corner.that should help to catch the frequency again if its getting blocked at particular location.this happens many times.but if changing the locan does not make any difference.then  2) get checked that the antenna of the unit is not catching the required frequency for the unit.so change the antenna also connect this external antenna  as mentioned 50 ω (it comes wioth SMA Connector) that helps in catchinf the frequency. you will get this at radio shack website. this will help. ----------------------------- also in the unit there is a component which controls the frequency called microprocessor if that goes weak the unit slowly slowly stops receving the accurate signals and only the noise comes.so the micro processor in located internally in the left side.its a green and black colour mini chip circuit board.many times opening the unit and removing and cleaning the microprocessor and refitting it solves the problem but this is 50 --- 50 chance. this all has to be checked what mentioned. thank you for using fixya.

SOURCE: Remotes have poor range

Here is some information that may help you.

Limited range of your remote controls could be related to radio frequency interference that comes from something in your home or in the surrounding environment. Certain electrical devices can radiate interference; this could be almost anything that is plugged into an electrical outlet.


Please keep in mind that the device can be brand new, or can be an item that has been in use for quite a while. Also, the item may continue to function properly as far as you are able to tell. The only problem with the item may be that it has started to broadcast the interference, with no other symptoms noted.


Some devices are more likely to generate interference than others. This includes TV cable, cable amplifiers, surge protectors, fluorescent lights, battery charging devices (power tools, golf carts, etc.), anything that utilizes a timer (sprinkler systems, lights, alarm systems, etc.), and a myriad of others. If the problem seems sporadic, we can safely assume that the device responsible for the interference is only being operated during these times. Again, please keep in mind that the age of the device does not determine if it is capable of broadcasting unwanted interference. Any electrical device can be the source of the problem.


The first step is replacing the battery in your remote. If the range on your remote does not improve, remove the wall control wires from the overhead unit. If the range does not improve you will likely need to replace the remote control. After replacing the remote, or if you have other remotes programmed in to the opener, and the range problem still exists, please proceed to the Power Down test.


Multiple garage doors:
If you have two garage door units and one is working just fine, you will need to start by unplugging the good unit. This will help determine if the unit with no range starts to function properly. If the range comes back to the bad unit then you will need to replace the logic board on the unit that was unplugged as it is emitting an RF signal that is over powering the other garage door opener. If the range doesn not improve after the “good” unit has been unplugged, replace the batteries and try programming some additional remotes to determine if the existing remotes are the issue. If the extra remotes do not have any range then you would need to replace the receiver logic board in the “bad” unit.


Power Down test:
To isolate potential sources of interference, turn the circuit breaker off to the garage and plug the garage door opener into an extension cord from another room. If the range improves, then the interference is coming from a device in the garage. If no improvement is seen follow the same procedure, this time turning off the circuit breakers to your home, with the exception of the garage and test the remote controls. If improvement is noted, turn the circuit breakers back on, one by one, until the range problem resurfaces. This will allow you to narrow down what room the problem device is in. You will have to go from there to isolate it further, by unplugging and re-plugging the items in that room.

SOURCE: I'm using d-link dwl-3200 ap

Transmitted Error Count 4734440

Ack Rcv failure Count 15269951


  • As per the above there are error on Transmitting the packet and also for receiving the acknowledge packet.
  • Please check whether any disturbance in the link
  • Each PPP packet has a checksum attached to ensure that the data being received is the data being sent. If the FCS of an incoming packet is incorrect, the packet is dropped and the HDLC FCS count is increased.
  • Another reason for seeing too many FCS errors may be that the remote end has stopped talking PPP.

Yaesu 270 not transmitting nor receiving

Hi this can be down to many reasons, radio keypad locked, receive on tone squelch, set on "Relay" or "Repeater", or even radio failure. Without the radio I cannot help, but that may give you some ideas.

Atlantis 250 will receive but won't talk out, could this be a faulty push to talk button?

Are you sure it isn't transmitting? do you have a PL encoded on the radio you are using as a receiver? disable it so you can hear everything on it. the wrong digital squelch settings between the two radios will make it look like one of them is not transmitting.

Hi Walter,

When you're out riding with your mates, how close to the person you are trying to talk to is from you on the road?

If you are within 2 metres of the person you are trying to contact, neither they nor you will hear each other, keep at least 5 or more metres from each other and you should be able to chat with each other, remember that radio waves need room to move in before they are receiveable.

These units are low powered, that is to say no more than 1 watt rf output power, so the most distance that these radios can transmit to is about 5 kilometres line of sight only.

I hope this helps

Regards,
Peter

My uniden ltd 715 receives from my handheld but when I transmit to handheld it just buzzes.

Just to clarify something, you say that your hand-held VHF can receive a clear transmission from the Uniden, now which of the radios are buzzing, the Uniden or the HH?. If it's the hand-held buzzing try transmitting on the low watt on the Uniden, get some distance from the radio, because if the hand-held are to close to the on the Uniden on high watt you will get a buzzing, the signal are overpowering the receiver of the hand-held, try getting the minimum of 30 feet away. Good luck.

I just purchased two radios. How far will they transmit and receive with good clarity in the city? I need to transmit and receive from about six to eight miles away clearly. Thanks.

bobengelman,

Typically and unmodified handheld CB will have a decent talk distance of 1-2 miles with both being a handheld. Further distances can be had if one of the radios was a mobile or base station with distances of more than five miles with weak signals. In some cases the antenna can be changed to a better longer antenna. Extention type antennas typically transmit about a mile per watt. Conditions such as terrain will have an impact on signal specifically mountains or buildings. Better results may also be had by purchasing a mobile magnet mount with a PL-259 to BNC to fit the radio. A magnet mount placed on a air conditioning unit or large cookiesheet as high as possible will make decent gains for distance if the radios are intended to be stationary.
