Well they may claim everything is alright but I can tell allot of these guys have no idea what they adjusted inside your radio and almost every time one of these radios comes across our bench it 's a sure bet they have been turning everything they can in an effort to try an get more power and that u...

I'm well aware of problems you speak of but it didn't sound like this radio was drifting it just sounded like it didn't line up on 12 oclock position with other radios he may have been trying to talk to.

Since this radio uses a separate modulator circuit to modulate the final section a simple method of checking the audio circuits is to try the PA function this will allow you to check the audio line and make sure the mic wiring is good. If you have audio on the pa section you know that the mic as wel...

Ok this radio does not get power to anything. A couple of times I was able to get power, but not anymore. When it did have power, it had no lights on the front whatsoever, the channel indicator did not light up(so I had no idea whether I was transmitting or anything else), the SWR meter on the fron...
