RCI 2995 DX


Two questions. If you turn the volume full up, and rock the squelch knob from end to end, do you hear a soft "thump" from the speaker?

Second, does the S-meter reveal normal movement from skip, chatter on 19 or channel noise?

Or does it just lay down at zero?

Greetings Nomad!
No soft thump,And yes the s-meter moves.The radio recieves and transmits.
As per my Handie Talkie.

Whups! Forgot to ask if plugging an external speaker into the PA jack, and selecting PA mode gets you audio when keying the mike. Would have saved some time if I had remembered to ask.

If you do have loud PA audio, I suspect Q73 could be bad.

And if you DON'T have any PA audio, the problem is upstream from Q73.

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned
