It may be fully charged according to the charger but once you put it under load i.e. transmit it’s pulling the voltage down.</div><div>Is this radio new? i.e. right out of the box?</div><div><br></div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">

<div><p>I programmed my UV-5RA using a Macintosh (running Mavericks, OS X (10.9.5), an FDTI cable from Amazon, and Chirp 0.4.1 but I cannot transmit. I can reach the local repeater, but if I transmit for more than a fraction of a second the radio's screen goes black, and I have to turn it off and on again to do anything. The battery is fully charged, and I have tried with three different antennas -- same result. Help !<br></p><p> thanks <br></p><p> John KG6VK<br></p>
