After almost 3 years of faithful service, my T2-135 has gone deaf. Not completely deaf, just mostly deaf. When first installed it decoded most everything it heard. Now it only decodes the strongest, clearest signals. For example, after a two week round trip from Indiana to Colorado, it added about 25 stations to my Nuvi. I would normally get at least a couple of hundred stations. This is becoming problematic because it really interferes with the ability to send and receive APRS messages.
I have tried removing the radio from the car and attaching it to a base antenna and power supply with no difference in decoding ability observed. I know the radio is receiving properly becuase I can see the S-meter jump and hear the audio when not in digital mode. I have also updated the firmware which made no difference. This is a version 2.1 model. Is there an input cap on this thing that might have gone bad? Is there anything else that might be causing this issue? Should I just consider it's time to replace a 3 year old piece of equipment? -- Bob Poortinga K9SQL <http://www.linkedin.com/in/bobpoortinga> Bloomington, Indiana US
