Re: No Tx audio on cobra 148 GTL

No luck with the meter. When I hook up a pre-amp the meter works as normal. Without the pre-amp no swing on low to med signals. Also, If I increase the volume to listen to low signals, when a strong signal comes in I get blasted from the speaker.

as for the meter in RX, I have to check c33, everything else checked out.

Thanks again,

Mike

Re: No Tx audio on cobra 148 GTL

Ok,

I'm using a 2sc945. I tried more than one just in case. I'll check the VR.

Thanks,
