One thing that makes the schematic necessary is identifying parts. Once upon a time the parts were big enough you could read the component's value right off the side of it. Surface mount parts are too small to do this, and the only hint about what's inside a component will be in the schemo.

Same thing when I tried to get the schematics for the Anytone Smart CB...
When you look up Road King...this is what you find...
Look up DAS - you'll find - thru the Fine Print - this...
So when I see this...
I can't help but wonder...
Is this the thanks we get for giving them not only the rights to make the product, but our money we earned working for it...?
And to think I get upset over selling out...

Without schematic is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Yo can swap half of the radio and no juice

Ok, so we may have limited options...
Then before you go too far...
Do you have another radio to listen to - while you talk on the "bad one" that's too low?
You tune the other radio to the same channel - don't need any antenna - just don't key up the monitor radio and listen thru it - with you calling talking - transmitting on the Road King and see if it "sounds loud enough" if it don't - then all the work you just did, was in vain. I hope not but we'll see...
Did you try PA - switch it to PA mode, using an external speaker - plugged into the PA jack on the back panel - see if you can even have any volume? Adjust the volume, does it have Mic Gain (Or Mike Gain) control? Rotate it - work the controls of the radio - see if this problem is truly a radio problem or your receive just "quit"
If the radio seems to have enough volume, PA works, you just may have a bad antenna jack that just needs a little reheating of the connections to it, and to the board and look for cracked traces in any vertical cards or loose headers...or if that's too much - take it into a tech and brace yourself for the bill this may cause to get it working right again.
I think ill stay away from companies that wont share schematics wih with its consumers. Too bad because i was interested in anytone
No more than the radio cost I'd junk it and ge a 39vhp or something
I’d say: up the $-limit on what’s disposable. $200 and I get some good use doesn’t hurt that much (How many months cell service on an unlimited plan? At 30-MPG and $2/gl gasoline that’s not a whole lot of miles. Etc).
I’m recommending perspective change.

Proprietary.. ya schematics for an AM only radio are high value things like a missile guidance schematic or the recipe to Bushes baked beans.
President put out service manuals and schematics for their up the food chain Lincoln2+ and McKinley. We don't see knockoffs being sold anywhere now do we?

They have no schematics because they are disposable. You're not supposed to get it fixed, you are supposed to buy a new one.
