    Eagle 5000

    All the radios I looked at had L33 in schematic mine isn't in there I am trying to track down why it throws such a wide signal. If your on say CH20 you will be heard and receive on 18 19 20 21 22 with 20 being the strongest.

    Eagle 5000

    The radio rx;s and tx;s 2 or 3 channels from center I noticed L33 is missing or was never put in can not seem to track it down. Thing about it is it sounds perfect just lower signal as you get father from center freq radio is on.
