Hyatt is my last name and the display name on some of the clones I have done.
YF, sounds like a battery issue to me as well. When my packs are not pushing the right voltage I get the same issue. I can scan and hear fine but when I ramp up the wattage to transmit it beeps and powers down then back up. Rule out the battery by using someones known-good one.

I hooked up the audio to audio and do the clone transmit. A small green light comes on in the dig. display of the slave unit but I never get the "clone rec'vd" message or whatever. It appears to be communicating but it won't clone. Any ideas?
Send KileyHaz a PM. Gr is the Icon programmer here in Tucson. I've seen some radios not accept cloning but can be programmed through the computer transfer.
It could be a firmware issue. I had to work around one of those this week on Hollywoods ICOM. If it won't take a clone from the clone cable then you can try the computer and vice versa. Her issue started out with the radio sending and receiving fine, then stopped receiving. We thought it was speaker releated but the software calibration just went bad, I pushed a new profile. Hers would not take a USB push but would take the clone. Once she had the new profile I couold push/pull fine with the USB.
A few guys in Phx have the software and cable for a USB or serial push. If your down this way I can take it home as well.
