Nick Black spirit is in South Wales. I did have his contact details but can't find them. His name pops up on other forums as well try a bit of a search. Sorry i can't be of more help.

A couple of things that are easy to check. There is a backup battery in the head unit that could need replacing followed by a reset. Secondly, if a past user has fitted the wrong screws in the mounting bracket, they can short/damage components on the PCB.

also maybe previous owner loaded wrong program or firmware ... if this is the correct manual check the troubleshooting for no sound or not transmitting etc https://www.manualslib.com/manual/890543/Alinco-Dx-70.html?page=92#manual
