[wxsig] T-238+ modem2 No Text on Display

[Dave]

Are you supplying it 12 volts?  This sounds like the temperature problem a 
lot of us had.  The voltage regulator in the 238 doesn't like 12 volts and 
overheats.  We put in a voltage regulator to drop the 12 volts down to I 
think 8, and then the regulator in the 238 knocked it down more to what it 
liked.  I am sure the more techy people will give you more info.
