LC, Robb, Waverider.....
I would first like to thank you all for the guidance and suggestions you gave me over the past few days!
Especially you LC. Your patients is amazing.

The good news is, the little 959 is FIXED!!

I'm not sure if I should be embarrassed, pissed off, or just be thankful that it works.

I removed the TRB2 echo board.
That was it. Plain and simple.

Radio is putting out 60 watts. Made a contact tonight 30 miles out and he said the radio sounded amazing.

Just for shits and giggles, I put the echo board in my Cobra 29. It works perfect.
I also have the same board in my other 959 and it works perfect.

Went back thru and checked my original installation and it was done correctly.

I'm gonna chalk it up to gremlins and try and put it outta my mind. Lol

Just ordered a Stryker SR-497.
That shall be my next experiment. Just kidding. I need to convert it and then I'll probably just run it awhile and see how it does. I hear good things about them.

If any of you have a quick insight on the conversion, or just opinions on the radio itself...... I'd love to hear em.

So glad I found this forum and I plan on staying here to absorb as much knowledge as possible.
Thanks again guys,
Joel
