This is a virgin General AP Hill that is only 3-4 months old. It was in my pick up truck and working fine.
Last evening, after work (I work second shift - 3-11pm) I turned it on and the receive was totally quiet - no static like usual. If someone broadcasts a real strong signal cloose it will boom in. The radio will transmit fine - it almost seems like the squelch is all the way on but is not.
I always keep the squelch all the way off. The temperature dropped way down that night so I suspect it was temp. related issue and messed up a solder joint.
Any ideas?
