UHF radio

[belzi82]

Hi everybody,
It has been a while!!!
Today I accidentally knocked my UHF and now it is not working (won't turn on). I have been having trouble with it since i had my bullbar replaced.
I have no idea what to do. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting it and nothing.
Help please???

What model radio is it?
Where did you knock it?
If it turns on by turning a switch on the volume control and you knocked that heavily you may have broken a connection inside the unit.
There could be a fuse holder close to the back of the radio that is making a poor connection.

Checked your fuse and also earth connection?

If all else fails, try a factory reset?

Factory Reset
Should it be necessary you can return all the UHF080 settings to the factory defaults to do this.
1. Switch the unit OFF.
2. Press and hold the CALL button.
3. While still holding the CALL button, turn the power switch to ON, this will reset the factory defaults.

Thanks everyone for your help. Still having issues with the uhf.
I just pulled the fuse out and it doesnt seem cracked (internally it looks intact). Is it like car fuses that need to be replaced once they have a crack in it??
Please help.

Sorry but does it actually turn on but you get no signal ? Or not turn on at all .
If it turns on but no signal and you've had your bulbar changed it seems like that's where your problem is , when I installed my dual battery tray I pinched the cable and had similar trouble but mine did turn on , I may be wrong but all the leads I've seen from aerials are fixed aerial end and depending on the old mount it would require the cable to be pulled back out of the cabin .
