first one is what would keep the squelch from working?turn the knob and nothing happens.I opened it up to do the diode mods and found a couple of connectors with broken wires.i repaired the broken wires so hopefully thats no longer an issue.
ever since i got it ive had a problem where as if the radio was cold the power was way low,once you left it on a while it would pick up and do some decent wattage.i took it to the local radio guy and he managed to get the power to be higher when it was cold but it would still increase when it...
