So I have an HP40W I bought new and it has spent its entire life in my Silverado 2500hd. It was setup by DTB radio back in the day, so I know it was setup correctly. But it has been almost ten years since it was touched...even checked.
Now here is something I noticed over the past weekend. Talkback "on", power on "hi", I get a VERY soft backtalk through the speaker. Turn the power to "lo", and talkback is loud and clear. I don't remember this, but it's been a while since I actually used it hard (very little traffic on 19 any longer). I immediately thought it was the mic, but it only happens switching between low and high, so that rules the mic out.
I did check and it is transmitting, I can talk to my other setup. Next step will be a meter to see what I have...
