Hi Tom.
If the reset didn't bring back the transmit on 2 meters, then I am fearful
that there is indeed an electronic problem with the radio that will require
service if the parts are still available.
Oh well, at least prices are a bit more attractive than they were when I
was in college in the late 70's and early 80's. In those days you could
spend $300 to $400 for 2 meters only, and it would be only 10 to 25 watts
and if you were lucky, it might have 5 channels of memory. Funny,
though. I started out with a 10 watt radio, and I think I made as many
contacts with it as I do with the modern 50 watt radios.
Anyway, I was really hoping that the reset would do the trick for you.
