Hi, I mistakenly plugged my computer ethernet lead into the MIC2 input socket. I realised that this should have been connected into the LAN socket on the rear of radio.
I now have corrected this mistake and receive works correctly but not able to get any transmit signal, I have my microphone plugged into MIC2 but no signal from microphone or transmit signal. The "Tune" button works and able to adjust the power level with the Tune slider but MOX does not result in any transmit power even with the Drive slider up. I guess I have damaged the MIC2 input stage, if so how easy would this be for me to repair? (Using ExpertSDR2 software and I have had everything working on my previous computer)
Regards, John

Before you do that, CHECK to make sure your MIC input in the software is set to MIC2 for audio input

And set the mic to the same setting under "Settings" as well.

Thank you all for your replies, the MIC2 input is thankfully not damaged :D I had failed to select Mic 2 in the software, was set to default Mic 1 ! 1https://eesdr.com/media/kunena/emoticons/kolobok_addon_stars.gif
