hey everyone.
i have a question about a base i was given.
as stated its a Ranger 696fssb.
The problem is when i turn it on it is apparently stuck in wx mode as i can hear the weather stations all the time when powered up no matter where the mode is switched. Not 100% clear audio tho, its kinda crackly but defiantly understandable. The counter does not light up, but the channel display does. the mode leds are working and change with the mode switch. but the definitive click between modes is not there.
question is, is there some transistor arrangement that does this switching between modes? I cant find a schematic for that radio specifically, but the 2980wx seems close. im not that good at reading schematics anyway so a little direction would be helpful.
is this a common problem? has anyone else had this issue? if so any ideas on what section of the schematic i should be looking or how to fix it would be great.
