[chirp_users] Wouxun KG UV8D deaf
Hello,
I have a Wouxun UV8D which I had programmed last year with an OEM cable with success.
Yesterday I have attempted to add some new channels. Everything seemed normal at a first glance
but then I have realized that the radio has no reception at all. The frequency, the channel name and
all other parameters can be seen on the screen and as far as I can see it transmits on both VHF and UHF
(checked with a scope) but no reception, anywhere.
I have seen on the net that other people had similar problems, their radios becoming deaf after programming.
Does anyone know what is the cause? And the cure?
Another problem I have noticed (which didn't happen last year during programming) is that my Mac (a Macbook air)
tend to freeze while using Chirp. Can it be something related to the latest build?

I've heard of a similar problem which was caused by physical damage to the headphone socket. It wasn't programming which caused the problem, it was plugging the programming cable in which caused it. The audio goes through the headphone jack socket so the internal speaker can be muted when a plug is inserted. If the contact hasn't sprung back properly then the internal speaker will stay muted. Does the RX light turn on when it receives a signal?
You could try plugging a speaker/headphones into the socket and see if you hear the audio through that. Although I believe it's a 2.5mm jack plug you'll need!
One of my UV5Rs does the same thing. No audio from the speaker. I found that the contacts in the radio side programming receptacle have been distorted from use. If I plug in a speaker/mic all is well and sound is good. Sarge in North Texas
