Hi all, I took it all apart again. The TMP cable on the IN side of the KXV3A board was just slightly loose. I should have checked it a 4th time-HI HI
Checked into the Beam-Spinners Weak signal net on 144.200 here in Denver. Net Control has a 9700 and my offset was off and had to tune to 144.199.5 to get everyone in clearly. So, I need to calibrate it-the manual says how to dial in using the factory spec but that number is obviously off. Is there a resource my Google-Fu has not be able to find? Thanks for the help and 73, everyone.
