I'm kinda in trouble with my T-3 base. I was working yesterday, with T3, and LS, via UHF radio. Suddenly, the base stopped broadcasting.
I return to base, and the T-3 has shut down. the radio is blue light, solid.
So, I have a PIGTAIL, and I power the base from the 12 volt RADIO battery. It takes it a bit, but it restarts.
I finish my day. Happy.
I get home last night, and hook the T-3 to the charger, and this morning, it is STILL RED. So, it has NOT charged.
I unplug it, and it will not turn on. I plug it in, and it will turn on.
So, either I have a blown Diode, or fuse in it. Or, the batter has fallen below voltage, so it cannot charge.
I don't know. When it is plugged in, it turns on, but when not plugged in, it does not turn on.
Can I get a replacement battery? I have dug all over the Javad Site, and I don't find it listed for sale.
I am sure one is available. Is it user serviceable?
I can use my base as is, with EXTERNAL power, for a while, but that's not a great way to use it.
Any knowledge available on this issue would be appreciated. I have searched the Javad site for all the search words I can think of, and have not found what I need.
Thanks everybody.
