My long-suffering T2-135 may have bit the dust.  Can anyone give me a
read on this?

It's installed in the Alinco radio, set to the APRS channel with the
modem enabled (remember, it's been working in this configuration for
over 18 mos).  As soon as the radio is powered, the red and green LEDs
blink successively, then the red LED turns on steadily.  The radio is
receiving packets (you hear the "click" if the volume is turned up), but
there is no status change on the LEDs like there used to be, and no KISS
data is output (I had it in KISS mode on Port A).

It will not connect to OTWINCFG.EXE, either with the "Load Firmware" box
checked or not.  I know it isn't the serial port or cable, because I can
use a terminal emulator, short pins 2 & 3, and type and get characters
echoed.  I know it's not the connector polarity, because I tried a null
modem, too, to no avail.

It seems like the processor must be running to blink those LEDs, but can
anybody think why the T2-135 won't respond in any other way?

Thanks & 73,
