I've had numerous "customers" confuse talkback/echo/big radio sound with eachother. Sometimes it's funny, other times frustrating trying to explain the difference. Some just can't believe that an echo board does not add power to their radio. They can "if" adjusted right make you audio sound...
The one I have work very well. It's the 100w version. Tried to sell it on here for a while but no real hits. It's more radio than what I need. May have to list it on E-bay w/a reserve.
I now have 2 Nugatrons. Very happy to get this second one. Fixing to mount one on the top of my Ramcharger. Soon as we figure out the best place in relation to SWR. Kinda worried about trees. Going to have to cut some limbs today just to get in and out of the yard.
I can hook you up with someone. Ray or Jerry at Jerrys Electronics in Houston, Tex. 7136973310. Ray is one of the best amp guys I know. Other than Cheesy in Tulsa Darrel Patterson.
Jerry's Electronics in Houston is another excellent shop. Been around for 30 + yaers. Not the cheapest, but a very good shop. When I get in a bind or scratch my head they are always willing to help. Great people. But alas not near Chicago

I do a fairly good mail order/internet business in the shop. Not near Chicago. But we do have a warranty on all work and parts. All we ask of the customer is all packages be shipped insured and with a tracking number. Just throwing it out there.
Doesn't affect me one way or the other. I'm too close to 4 truck stops and I-10. Sometimes I do jump up to lower side of 38 and just listen. Trying to find some sanity in this insane world...
Really does sound like a coax, connector mount SWR problem. Chek everything. If you have or have access to a MFJ 259 use it. Also check you coax for shorts. same with you mount bad ground or no ground. Just a starting point. Although you meter adjustment could be out of calibration not likely to...
