Anthony:
The radio was on my regulated 3-amp DC power supply, and both battery packs
were fully charged. In fact, they are still fully charged--or at least, my
XYL says the "battery check" function shows three bars for both battery
packs.
Thanks for the thoughts, though.
As far as I can tell, my power supply cord has a good solid electrical
connection, and again, remember that I couldn't even run the radio on
battery for a while even though both packs were fully charged.
