Some purchases from the Stone Mountain Hamfest November 1, 2025. The EAS encoder was no longer supported, but the FM transmitter did work.

The Motorola XTS-5000 VHF radio on my desk at home showed this code. After diagnosing, the RF deck's fuse had blown. This is the message shown when the control head loses connection to the RF Deck.
I replaced the fuse, and it worked correctly.
