    11 meter is very quiet?

    Stryker SR-955hpc plus electret condenser mic

    Stryker SR-955hpc plus electret condenser mic

    Distorted Receive on NorthStar 990v

    I was just thinking that the chances would be good that a failed capacitor is the cause. Guessing that the radio is approaching 40 years old, the capacitors need to be changed anyway.

    Distorted Receive on NorthStar 990v

    A radio that old would be a good candidate for a total recap.

    Var. RMS?
