Hi Paul
I called my local Kenwood dealer and they gave me the East Coast
service center number. I talked with a tech there and they want the
unit back. Soooo, I'm headed off to the shipping place to send it
to Virginia Beach. They said the turn-around time is a day or so.
Ain't bad. The tech said it sounded like the flakey old PA board,
so hopefully in a week or so, I'll have a virtually new repeater!
One final question...I didn't think to ask the tech...will my
current software work with the upgrade or will I need to upgrade it
as well?
Thanks again to all for your responses and your help!
