the radio is a friend of mine's. He bought it pretty much new. I did a quick peak and tune for him. It sounded great according to the locals, HOWEVER 2 months after the peak and tune people said they could barely hear him. He sent it to me and it's doing about 5 watts dead key and swings to a little under 20 (PEP) (which is what it did when I sent it back to him) but sure enough people say it is quiet, muffled and almost like it's in a tunnel or something. yet I have another cobra 29 sitting here that does 4.5 DK and 15 swing and people say it's loud as the day is long.

I have not yet sat down with it, but I have a few ideas. Just wondering if anyone has any quick things I should check before I get started, just trying to save myself some work... after all this is FREE work for a friend. Well he did promise me a couple beers if I get it figured out.

[QUOTE="mr_fx, post: 371757, member: 22137"] the radio is a friend of mine's. He bought it pretty much new. I did a quick peak and tune for him. It sounded great according to the locals, HOWEVER 2 months after the peak and tune people said they could barely hear him. He sent it to me and it's doing about 5 watts dead key and swings to a little under 20 (PEP) (which is what it did when I sent it back to him) but sure enough people say it is quiet, muffled and almost like it's in a tunnel or something. yet I have another cobra 29 sitting here that does 4.5 DK and 15 swing and people say it's loud as the day is long. I have not yet sat down with it, but I have a few ideas. Just wondering if anyone has any quick things I should check before I get started, just trying to save myself some work... after all this is FREE work for a friend. Well he did promise me a couple beers if I get it figured out. [/QUOTE]
