Does the 148 gtl dx have the same alignment procedure as a new model 148 gtl?

I have searched to net and the treads over and over again but I can't find anything conclusive as to how to align and peak this radio. In what sequence do you do the adjustments and which adjustments to make. I'm pretty new to the tune and peak thing. I install echo boards and change out LEDs...

Well I found the problem, I borrowed a swr meter from a friend and everything checked out so I guess the light is set to sensative or it's just screwed-up. I got the swr set to 1.7:1 on channels 1 and 40 and shows 1.3:1 on channels 19 and 20. I guess it goes to show you can never trust the built...

After just playing with the radio again I suspect it's the radio. I've got a 2.9:1 ratio on channel 40 and no red light. 2:1 ratio on channel 1 and I get a red light. Channel 20 gives me 1.5:1 ratio with no red light. I've tripled check antenna,coax, mount and stud for proper continuance. I have...

Well I checked the coax and the connectors and that doesn't seem to be the problem. Is it possible the swr meter and ant.warning light are bad in the radio? Or could there be something else wrong in the radio?

Thanks for your help loosecannon:thumbup:. It's cold and dark here so I'll check those two connections in the morning. Besides, it's the wifes b-day so I better not pay anymore attention to the radio tonight, or I may not get any attention for myself for a couple of nights:D. I'll post...

I have the radio mounted above the mirror to the sheetmetal of the cab in a ford f350. The coax (wilson coax)is ran inside the headliner, then down the back of the inside of the cab to a rubber grommet, then outside the cab,then through the bed of the pickup through another rubber grommet to the...

I just bought a 29ltd chrome and set the swr's to well below 1.5, thirty minutes later ant. light comes on and swr's are over 3. I changed ant., coax, mounts and studs and no improvement. Does anybody got any ideas.:confused: I've noticed the new chases are only 8 volt, do I need to unground the...

I have a burning question. A stock final is rate at 18 watts pep and a mosfet is rated at 20 watts pep from the manufacturer, how can you get more carrier power out of the radio than that? I've had techs tell me they got anywhere from 32 to 81 watts out of a 29 ltd. Are they calling the...
