I am a Federal technitian and I have rean into a problem with a radio I am working on. No matter what I do with this 1523E nothing changes I always get Fail Radio. I have replaced every single card in the radio and I still get it. What could be causing this?

This is typically a result of trying to operate the radio with the lid off. You'll notice on the inside of the lid that there is a little protrusion the goes through the 1A2A1(top) CCA and pushes a white switch on the 1A2A3 CCA and lets it know that the lid is off. Easiest thing to do is just put the lid on and snug a few of the screws and then run your tests.

What does "Fail Radio" mean on an RT-1523E?

no number code associated with it like "FAIL5"?

Actually says "FAIL RADIO"?

Thank you PO2 Jonathan Scharff I was not trying to be rude, My background was in Electronic Engineering and have since migrated to Information Technologies and Securities over the years.. I thought I gave the discussion my best shot, probably not the best answer, so I am open to someone providing a clearer answer than the one I gave.. Lt Col (Join to see) I hope you don't see my question as being rude? That was never my intention, my comment to you was opening the room for more dialogue for you.

Not much, just checking my email, relaxing.. Will probably find something to watch on the TV and enjoy the rest of the weekend.. Been a long week and the next three weeks are going to be super busy with work, so I am going to rest this weekend in preparation for the next 19 days.
