PK232.19

TO ALL PK232 OWNERS...I HAVE JUST HAD A FAILURE OF MY PK232, WHICH WAS 
DUE TO BATTERY LEAKAGE..(THE 3 AA CELLS FOR MEMORY)... THERE WAS NO INDICATION
OF FAILURE ON THE PART OF THE BATTERIES ..ACTUALLY THE BATTERY THAT LEAKED
WAS STILL READING GOOD ON A BATTERY TESTER !!!!..SO OPEN UP THOSE PK232'S
AND CHECK THE BATTERY!! I SUGGEST THAT A PIECE OF CLEAR PLASTIC WRAP OR A 
LUNCH BAGGIE BE TAPED OVER THE BATTY TO PREVENT ANY DAMAGE. WHAT CLUED ME 
TO LOOK INSIDE WAS THAT I COULD NOT GET THE THRESHOLD CONTROL TO WORK. THE 
LEAKAGE WAS RIGHT ABOVE THE CIRCUIT ASSOCIATED WITH THE THRESHOLD CONTROL. 
CLEANED IT UP WITH RUBBING ALKY AND A OLD TOOTH BRUSH, BUT THE RECIEVE 

FUNCTION IS STILL OUT. 73, LADD  W2KGV
