Milte malfunction

I have really enjoyed the Mlite 880 as I think if it as a Communications Reciever ... It's reception is very good but the span from 25 mHz to 27 mHz is rather low in signal es the blank area from 30 mHz to 64 mHz ... Other than that it's a great reciever ... !!

Then late June it stopped charging the battery es the 21700 li-on started to go dead .... The little red lightening indicated was not coming on ... I have some 18650 li-ons but they worked but poor fit es they would not show a charge ... Si I ordered a charger and 21700 battery ...

At this time I wrote elecevolve and they said to ship the radio to them ... Well $75 to do that es they said they would reimburse me but???

The charger came in so did the battery but the radio will not charge so the radio works fine but no charge ... There is an onboard chip that handles the charging ... I figure it maybe the culprit 4065 li-on controller ... The li-on that came with the radio will not charge so it died es maybe took out the li-on control chip died es caused the battery to die or the battery killed the charge circuit...

I'll keep everyone informed

After a few sips it reminds me of the very original Mt Dew

Mlite for comparison .... That's the Sony SW5t just above the Mlite ... Two 2010 restorations and a Sony PRO 80 like new!

I think it's a Triumph but ??

It's not a normal car as the fenders are fibre glass
