I don't have any experience with Kenwood commercial radios, but I can tell you
that I have repaired may Kenwood mics for their Ham radios that had flakey SMT
capacitors in them causing them to key the radio at random times and for random
lengths of time. An easy way to test for this is to disconnect the mic from the
radio and see if the problem goes away. Eric, KH6CQ

Hello to the group.
I just programmed my 630 for the Ten Meter Band using the SP Tune feature.
Before I got a chance to tune the VCO/PLL TC51, 52 PLL lock voltage, the unit
went into transmit. When it does come out of TX for a few seconds, it shows
BUSY. I have tried to touch the the PLL but it has no effect.
The unit was working on 34 MHZ and there is nothing hooked to the outside world
to force PTT. The fact that it does cycle out of PTT for a few seconds,
indicates to me there is not a component failure in the PTT Line.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
JIM
