Ok guys heres the deal....I bought this used though its in like new shape.....however my receive seems horrible. And not in the noisy way as in lack of any!!! Its super poor....none to speak of Its works.....barely.......Also I listened to someone on the radio that told me to turn CT1 pot for receive.....I turned it many times in either direction so no telling where it was to begin with.....no change...now I'm worried I jacked up a good radio.....What does CT1 do????? Hope I didn't hurt it. Otherwise its an **Censored** kicker.....60 watts pep which is BAD since I'm backing it with a magnum 4500 4xmrf454 amp.....before I knew what a swinger this thing was I hooked it up.....great reports but later in the day hooked a meter up and showing over 600 pep! BAD JUJU!!!!!!!!! So figured mic gains a mutha on this thing and got it backed down before my pills went thru the case ;) Anyway....anything I can do for the receive and whats CT1......
