[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=Edchris177]Did you have any luck?
The IC-M24, IC-M34, IC-M36 all use the same antennae, it just screws off, you should be able to borrow one & try a swap.
Once you go higher,(M73) they use a slightly different antennae.[/quote]
No luck, I ordered a replacement antenna but after installing nothing changed. I had hoped it was a damaged antenna because the antenna had couple of bends in it from being stored loose in a gear bag.
Everything on the display functions normally, the radio beeps on button pushes and the display works correctly, battery indicator shows full. Just silence, like no traffic at all. Not even the weather channels.
I did get it to finally make static noises by turning the squelch down to zero. Even one tiny bar or squelch results in silence. So at least I know the speaker works.
Now, since I live in suburbia, I'm sure there isn't much VHF traffic anyway. I'll take it down by the river and see if it can pick up any barge traffic.[/quote]
