Title: Does the 1258 have a hardware reset?
Post by: K5WA on 2018-08-19, 23:49:55

Mikael,

I just got my 1258 MK II radio end (s/n 3170) running after a 3 year layoff from my remoting project.  As I was testing it on air with my terrible home antenna, I apparently got RF into the 1258 MK II and it will not power up now.  Is there anything I can do to get it running again?  With my microscopic glasses, I don't see any obvious damage on the board but I'm guessing a chip is fried.  I'm assuming I would need to send it back to you for repair or buy a new one?

Also, I have an older 1258 (s/n 2123) which I put in place of 3170.  Can you point me to any jumper or hardware changes I need to make on 2123 so that it will work with my 1258 MK II Control (3196)?

Thanks,
Bob K5WA

By the way, I tried the reset button on the board but I'm sure the unit needs to be powered for that you work so it did nothing.
