    i have a general lee 2009 era

    Plug an external speaker into PA jack on the back of the radio, flip the switch on the front to PA. If the PA function works, your mic and audio section are probably ok. Check this first.

    It makes no sense to me Tallman. I hope they at the very least have the proper protective hazmat gear, unlike the hospital in dallas. Hope your wife feels better(y)

    Who's bright idea was it to bring EBOLA into the US?

    Or mexico. Awful easy to get across our southern border nowdays. What about the 500 troops sent to liberia to help fight "the war on ebola" I haven't seen any good decisions being made on this issue. It could get bad real quick.

    Racapping an Event

    Sonoma, do you buy at a local or online supplier? Was just curious where the best place to buy caps and other components in bulk would be. Don't have anything but a local rat shack round here, and they don't have much. I've bought from mouser online, they're the only one I know of.

    A ground wire is not required for a mag mount. They do not have to touch bare metal. Theyre stick n go! Your swr issue could be the crimp pl259, could be an issue inside the base of the antenna, could be a lot of things. I had an astatic swr meter the needle would swing like crazy while...

    Galaxy dx949 stock mic wiring help

    White wire is usually the audio wire. It should be wrapped inside the bare sheild wire. Is that the problem, you have no audio? I didn't read closely enough, yellow is the audio wire on galaxy mics. Sorry bout that. What is the mic doing or not doing?
