Re: TW523 no longer transmitting. Repairable? Any compatibility with CM11A?

If the LED flashes, odds are it is still sending but some new device is attenuating or interfering with the signal.

Try moving it to another location. If it starts working, try to find the device that's causing problems.

The HD11A will not emulate the TW523. It uses RS232 and has a totally different interface.
