Magnum Omegaforce S-45HP Problems
I bought the Magnum Omegaforce S-45HP a week ago, Friday. The only thing that I have done to this radio, is the FREQUENCY CONVERSION ( CON3 & PRESSED THE RESET BUTTON FOR 10 SECONDS ). I connected the power up to the battery, using a Wilson 2000 Trucker antenna, good coax. My recieve is low, my signal meter is showing recieve, when I transmit on AM channel 22 (the center of the 11 meter band), it transmits on the LCD Display, but I am unable to have the signal meter show the Transmit signal. I connected my SWR/POWER Meter and that shows nothing on a dead key. I looked inside the radio and my ECHO & TALKBACK boards are different than what is shown on the Cbradiomagazine.com website/video, it is different than that shown on the Cbtricks.com website. Another thing is, is that above RV111, I have another RV pot, in the pictures that I have viewed, there is NOT supposed to be an RV pot in that location, by looking at the schematics that came with the Magnum Omegaforce S-45HP, it appears that it is covering/sitting on, C347 and D216 and D217 and C343 area, the RV pot is marked, 503 . The NTL 10M4D 1007 ( with the radio facing you, it is to the right of CQ33-455HT ) does not have what is shown in other pictures on it, not sure what it is supposed to be there, but it is not there, I have the Silver thing though. Next to the connection that the antenna connects to the board, just left of the PA plug, it says, 2nd Reproduction ( June2010 ). I am going to have my radio shop do a bench test on it this Thursday, but if if there is ANY INFORMATION, that YOU the FORUM can give me, it would be deeply deeply appreciated. I have owned this radio for a week and I have not been able to talk on it. I know that I am NOT having antenna issues, because I connected my PC-122XL, to the same power line that is coming from the battery, same antenna and coax, same SWR/POWER meter and it is talking just fine. I will have pics up soon. Again, if there is ANY INFORMATION, that YOU the FORUM can give me, it would be deeply deeply appreciated.
