bricked my 7500

Post by docred »

well I did a very stupid thing.

I was trying to build a DIY audio cable and managed to short some of the connectors on the DB25 port on my drawer unit. Radio is DOA... heads say FL 01 90 whether plugged into drawer or not, radio is still getting power (was hoping a fuse, no joy)

Given that this radio has the well known ABC123 serial, any thoughts on where I could get it fixed?

Am I correct I can take an XTL drawer and plug in my 05 apx heads and get back in business? don't have the money for a replacement APX right now, and really only need VHF anymore since I moved.

thanks
Tim

PS - if anyone has an XTL mid power drawer in VHF they want to sell, please hit me up.
