Vertex VX-3200V

[Mattdecker]

Hey guys,

I have a Vertex VX-3200V that I bought from a friend. Works great except for the volume.

The volume likes to stick to the loud side. No matter where I have the knob positioned, it stays at full volume. Most times this isn't bad but there are some times that I would prefer the volume be low.

Anyone ever had any problems like this or know any solutions?

Does it have fixed volume capability like a minitors fixed alert?

Not that I know of. I looked everywhere in the programming software and couldn't find anything. I will double check and see though.

Idk if it has that or not just a thought. Otherwise sounds like volume pot needs to be replaced

Ok. I am looking through the software thoroughly now just in case.

Is replacing the volume pot something that I would have to take it to a repair shop to do or is it simple enough an end user could do?

I don't know the 3200 and. Don't know your technical capabilities. Generally they're soldered onto a board. So if you aren't comfortable finding the part and soldering I'd find a repair shop.

Good luck,
Seth

Ok. No problem. Wasn't sure how difficult that was. I will go to our radio guy and see if he can look at it and see what he can do. It isn't a huge deal but there are a few times when I would like it to be low volume. Lol.
