Hello all,
Trying to see if anyone has any ideas to narrow my efforts down before I go crazy chasing wires. I was recently working behind a segment of the panel to install a push button starter and when everything went back together I realized the PTT no longer worked. I checked out the jack and noticed the wires (circled in red) had been pulled out. Easy fix I figured so I soldered it back on and it still wont transmit. The only way I can get it to (at least have the TX show up when I hit the PTT) is when I take off the rubber grommet and the barrel touches the panel metal.
What am I missing? Is this segment connected to a ground or something and perhaps I pulled the other end off as well. The other end is buried deep in the panel and so I wanted to see if I was mussing something on the jack end before deep diving.
Thanks all!
Charles
