I should have gave you guys an update sooner , the TW-4000a that I had posted about still doesn't work to this day . After trying and trying to get it to run I finally gave up on it and went and bought another TW-4000a but not from ebay again , I went to QTH.com and bought one from another Amateur Operator along with a Duplexer as well . The 2nd TW-4000a has the optional dual band dip switch as well as the optional Voice Synthasizer too . This one works fine and came with both it's original manuals (Service & Owners) . The first radio just simply didn't and still doesn't work .
I really appretiated everyones help with this problem .
This is a shot in the dark and I am not familiar with that particular radio....................but, is it possible you have a PL tone set into receive as well? "Sometimes" with some radios, if this is set that way, it will cause the receiver to not respond back because it is acting like "Private Line". IOW, the receiver will hear the repeater when someone ELSE keys it, but, with the PL tone set, when you key it up, it literally "masks" the receiver. Since there is no actual tone on the machine, others are working thru it while yours is not.
It is just a wild shot and, again, I'm not there to see the rig (and not familiar with it), but take a moment to check it out. Likely not it, but, ya never know..................................
PL tone can mess things up sometimes.
Is it possible to be on a lake and have a homing directional beam being emitted from the shore so a person could navigate to that beam's source? For example at night to a jetty.
