Re: [Repeater-Builder] MTR 2000 Help
Are all the original cards in it when it was programmed? If it was programmed with any optional boards installed they must be in place at all times after. Also have you've added any cards after programming that will also cause this fail.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] MTR 2000 Help
All original cards are in I assume as I have never taken the radio apart. When I bought it, I successfully programmed the ham band freqs 927.1125/902.1125/tone access, etc. I used it at home as a backyard repeater mainly just learning how to set the audio, etc.. I put it aside for about a year until just recently when it showed the problem after I turned it on. I have never removed any cards from it, etc. never opened it in fact.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] MTR 2000 Help
I will take any advice, no matter what. I will look down in the innards tomorrow! I remember when a cat decided to take up residence in my wife's car years ago. It didn't stay long under the hood when she started the car one cold morning! It kinda limped out of the garage!
