tuned to 145.175 I can hear packets but there's no indicator light activity<br>on the Tiny-2, even with an open squelch and audible packets<br>(no DCD, no nothing, just a illuminated PWR and that's it).<br><br>Suggestions, please ?<br><br>73s and TIA,<br>David VK2KFA<br></div></div></div><br></div></div></div></div></body></html>
