    dx 959 keyed up no ANT.

    I have had the radio for a while. Before I messed up it would DW @ 2 - 10 then swing to 12-20. Yes I'm going by the meter on the radio. It worked great before. I have replaced the irf520 and it still does same thing. Would I have hurt any other components when I keyed up with no ANT...

    dx 959 keyed up no ANT.

    I have a galaxy 959 that was keyed up with no ant hooked up. When keyed now, it shows 0 watt DK and will swing to MAX with audio. Is it the final or what do I need to look for? Thank you.

    cobra 29 black chrome rfx75. Hum

    I tried a new power cord and it still had the hum. The hum wasn't constant though. It is always there but will get louder and softer. It doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason to it. I have also checked and resoldered all the connections. I think my next step is to try it in a different...

    cobra 29 black chrome rfx75. Hum

    The power cord is 10 or 12 ga. with a dc filter in line. It is all in one, I bought it that way. It was not an splice job. would the filter matter?

    cobra 29 black chrome rfx75. Hum

    The SWR was checked with an ext. meter. I have a galaxy 99v that works perfectly in the truck. Could it still be a bad ground or maybe lack of power if other radios perform perfectly? I'm new to playing with radios and I dont have a dummy load yet. The only way I check them is in my semi. I...

    cobra 29 black chrome rfx75. Hum

    I just installed the RFX 75 in a new cobra 29 BC. I followed cbtrick instructions to a T. When I transmit I get a "hum" behind the audio and when the mic gain is up all the way the ANT light comes on (only when I talk). My SWR in the truck is about 1.4 - 1.5. Any help would be appreciated.

    dx99v engine noise

    I checked everthing over and ended up putting an inline noise fiter on. That eliminated all of the noise. Thank you for all the help.

    dx99v engine noise

    Thanks for your advise. I'll try #1, #4, and #5. The vehicle is a KW W900L. The alternator is fairly new and I just did the new ground strap to the frame. Any Idea why it only does it with this radio? I'v had a couple of cobra 29's and a 959 hooked up and they don't produce any noise. Could...
