Pre-Flight
BAck story: returning to GA after a 10 year layoff. Have a 30 year old KX-99, no desk charger, just AC cord that plugs in to top.
Symptoms: pulled radio out of storage. Old battery still on the radio. Put on charger; took charge. Turned on. Picked up weather, broke squelch for transmit, antenna connection a bit dickey buy functional. Left on. Drained with no use other then weather reception in about 6 hours. Bought new batter, charged over night, same issue.
My memory says it lasted much, much longer back in the day.
Ideas?
Thanks
