User issue midland 98 plus

[Bigman1207]

I don't think my rig is broken more a lack of user manual so I will describe the issue . . . .

When I switch radio on I get three beeps volume up full squelch turned to minimum I get no noise

It also if I keep squelch button pressed makes another beep esl I have no idea what this is or does

Sometimes say fifty percent of the time I get noise ap per normal when the squelch is turned down

Aerial and mic connection checked where the screw in and seem okay

So my operating fault or rig fault?

Oh it's wired via cig lighter in a van

Cheers

[Bigman1207]

All put back together same as previously not had noise for quite some time now on.matter how many times I switch on or off

[Bigman1207]

Is there a way to check by bridging pins on the cb with Mike removed?

[Bigman1207]

Google search

Okay bridged pins c and r on full volume got a very very slight buzz only just audible


Any ideas?

Could be a faulty squelch control, or could be adjusted incorrectly inside the unit.
