Hi everyone,

Sounds like my Wouxun UVD1P is very ill right now. Switched it on last night attached to an external antenna. Very little or no RX on VHF or UHF.

I waited for the coast guard weather forecast on Ch 83 and as you'll hear from the video, very poor, distorted with feedback RX.

thanks

(Yes, I know it's a cheap radio and has served me well for close on 5 years so constructive comments please)

Same results on an external and the rubber duck

Hasn't been dropped or exposed to moisture or any other liquid
