Gremlins at work

[Marcarl]

I have 2014 Spyder, RT. 1330 engine, cognac in color, carries 2 up with ease, goes like scart rabbit.

So far so good.

Now the Dutch comes out in me.... after paying all that retirement cash for original purchase I cheaped out and did not add the CB intercom for about $1500. Instead I bought a JMCB 2003 with intercom for about $400.

Everything worked kind of more or less fine,, well the intercom needed new cords as well to satisfy the Edset head gear, but after that addition the only problem that continued to rear it's head was the CB part,,, I could send, but didn't receive in the headset. The set showed reception and nada in the ears,,,, thought that maybe I was slowly going deaf, but my wife informed me that was not the case,,, so I have to believe her and go with it.

So I have transmission, reception, but it doesn't get to the CPU on my shoulders. I had done some cutting, eliminating and reinsertion to the headset cord and thought that maybe,,, just maybe, I had screwed something in the process. I had called JM about the problem and after going through their standard questions and answers they determined that there must be something wrong and I should send the set to them for evaluation. So I was about to embark onto that part of the process this week, when I thought..... I Know!!!! thought, why not try it once more now that I have the faring off, and I can easily plug my portable into the mix to see if it may be the antenna. Well I did, and found that everything now works perfectly,,,,huh????? no matter how I hook things up,,, everything works,,,, s t r a n g e!!!

There's 2 guys I don't pay much attention to,,, couldn't remember who they were,,,, but I think my memory has been refreshed.

[ReinyRooster]

Hard to argue with their logic......LOL!!

Glad Ya got her going Carl....Can Ya hear me now???

[Flyinfool]

So the solution is obvious, leave the faring off.

 

Maybe you just had something not plugged in tight and now it is.

Don't ya just love a good old electrical problem that becomes an intermittent one.......

[Marcarl]

And here I thought you guys would have the solution for me,,,, not much help then,, well so far,,, and yes everything was plugged in just fine, fact is, nothing other than the antenna got unplugged,,,,, oh well, suppose I should have asked the one who knows all,,, but she was busy so I came here. And there is NO logic to this at all!!!

Intermitent crap drives me nuts. Maybe the shield on the coax wasnt in the connector good or something. Crazy stuff happens, and sometimes its just the way it is.
