Before you decide that your piece of equipment is broken, check the A B C 's of
Elecronic Surveillance:
They are the three items on all pieces of electronic surveillance equipment that
are prone to breakage and failure.
1.) Insure your antenna is properly attached and working.
Use a
different antenna is you have one available. Look at your existing antenna
and see if the cable is frayed or broken around the connector. Without the
proper antenna your equipment will not perform, no matter if it is a
transmitter, receiver, or a repeater.
2.) Check the power source.
Install new batteries (if the device uses
disposable ones), or use an alternative power supply if possible.
3.) Check all connections.
Inspect all connectors on the
equipment as well as on all accessory cables to see if they are broken or if
cables are frayed. Make sure connections are properly made and that they are
tight, inculding microphones, audio cables, antenna cables, battery contacts,
power cables, etc.
