The transmitter has been running flawlessly. However, I'm getting an error code when I run the "test" function.

The display on the LCD is as follows:

0-VCO OK-3
ERROR-1

What the heck does this mean? The TX appears to be functioning normally. A power cycle is not clearing the errror.

Any suggestions?

What the heck does that mean you inquire?Well have you really given it serious thought...have you read the instruction book?

Lets point you in the right direction...PLL staus codes...is there a 9volt regultor around somewhere?..Do you have the Lock Monitor enabled or disabled?..and if it is enabled,can you still transmit or even do a tune up in the tune mode??

I've finally gotten around to responding to you:

First of all, your response is a bit rude. Don't you think that I have looked through the user guide to find the answer to this question? I have! There is nothing in the manual that I received that explains what the error codes are.

Second, the error is "new" in that it wasn't appearing before when I would run the self-test function.

So my question still stands: what does it mean? And where can we get a list of the error codes and their solutions?

The only meaningfull information from these codes is the first value,
VCO OK. If this is OK than all is OK and you can sleep peacefully.

Thanks, Marko et al. I think that my response was rude, and perhaps there was some sort of language barrier that made the first reply seem rude, when it really wasn't.

What I would like to know is why did the error message suddenly appear, when it wasn't there before?

The TX has been running FLAWLESSLY! Thanks for a great product.

Best regards,
Paul

Its just Norm. This guy tends to be rude to everyone.
Don't associate him with us. He is just another forum
member.
