I have a Magnum 1 radio that I bought from a CB'er friend. He bout it from Les Comm and never opened the radio.
This radio sounds phenomenal on 11M and the SSB stability is as good as any radio out there. Problem is when I went to check in to our local 10 Meter net, all anyone was hearing was a rush of static with my signal on USB 28.495. Everything looked good on my end. Power out, SWR, modulation... All looked on my end that everything was fine.
After some further investigation, AM and FM modes work great on both 10 and 11M. Also, the closer I go to the CB band, the more the audio comes up and the less static is heard. At about 27.900 or so it sounds pretty good. By 28.300 the audio is audible but covered in static. At 28.495, when I turn the modulation and power way down, my audio can barely be heard by a close station, but my voice was not recognizable.
On 11M, I get great audio reports. Any thoughts about what to look at? Like I said, it's a "Les Comm Enhanced" radio, but Lester would not help me once I told him I was not the original owner.
I have a local tech I can take it to, but some insight would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
