Kg-q10h issue

[cbeam2]

Radio is unlocked to use offroad with everybody’s GMRS. It works fine when using PTT side buttons but the speaker mic PTT will only beeps and not key the radio. This only happens on gmrs. Somehow that circuit must be locked still. Any ideas?

I think what you’re saying is that the radio transmits fine on both ham and GMRS frequencies when you use the built in microphone, but when you plug in the external microphone you can only transmit on ham radio frequencies, not GMRS frequencies.  Is that right? Because that doesn’t make sense.
 

If it simply doesn’t transmit when using the PTT button on the external microphone, that’s probably a hardware problem. Either your microphone plug isn’t plugged in deeply enough or the jack or cable has an issue. Try a different one to see if the same thing happens.

I have to agree with @SteveShannon on this. I just tested my Q10H with a Wouxun hand mic and it works just fine. I have also used headsets. with my Q10H and 935G and they work fine with both radios.

One thing to remember is that the hand mic will only transmit on the channel set in the top area (A) when you have dual channel display. It will not transmit on the area B channel if it is selected.

Another issue when using a hand mic or headset is that no matter if you change the two PTT buttons on the radio, the hand mic or headset will still only transmit as if you are using PTT 1 button (bottom PPT button)

So lets say that you have PTT 1 set for area B and PTT 2 set for area A, the hand mic/headset will only transmit on what area PTT 1 is set for in the radio's settings.
