Hi List,

 

I am experiencing an unusual problem with my TM-V71A.  

I am set for 2 meters and the mode is FM.

When I use medium or high powerand key the mike and speak I get almost
instant static exactly like that heard when the squelch is open.  When I
unkey the static stops.

This also happens often when I key the microphone and do not speak.

Sometimes this happens when I use low power but very infrequently.

The static continues during the time I speak.  

It makes no difference as to whether I can hit the repeater with my signal
or not.  This happens on most every repeater that I have programmed in so I
don't think it is a repeater related problem.

I believe that when this occurs and I am speaking with someone, they can
hear my transmission but possibly not the static that I hear.

This has begun happening only recently and was never a problem in the past.

 

Do any of you have an idea as to what the problem might be?  I feel like it
must be something that I have changed accidently.

 

Thanks
