Many people say "you must have13.8 v supply" but it is sold as a mobile rig so should work on 12 volts? And it did when I first acquired it. As a separate issue it has also suddenly ceased working in CW mode. No side-tone ; no power ; just dumb insolence. Anyone had similar experiences ? Bryan G3GVB IZ
