Greetings from Oregon - the shower me state,
I'm Gus and I have an old 142 rig that's been serving faithfully until a couple of years back.
While the unit receives 5x5, the transmitting modulation is near 0% by the gauge. The SWR seems okay and it's mated to an A-99 Antron antenna with RG8 cable, grounded with copper wire to a ground stake 6 ft. In the ground.
The trouble started about a year after receiving this rig back from 1 Stop CB shop for the installation of the potentiometer to reduce output wattage to my amp. I only recently learned of their poor reputation recently via a tattletale web site.
Please let me know if you know of a reputable shop in or near the PacNW that can affect these type of repairs on such an old rig, and any other details you may have have on this old rig.
Thanks and a lift of the lynch lid.
