rfx75 help

[audiocracker]

Does anyone know wich wires to cut off the rfx 75 before install?,, the instructions say to cut off the rx output but i dont know wich one it is..there are three coax type wires on the board, two with a color band on the end one without. also the instructions say take a cap off the bourd and i did that then cut the coax by the cap that was removed.. Help. kennethjustinanderson@gmail.com oh yaa... im working on a cobra 29 and 4 pin cobra 148 thanks

I'm thinking RX out in your question = RX out in the picture. The little gray dude on the lower left hand side. Or just maybe that's the one you attach to your belly button.

audiocracker, you need this page of info:

Powerband RFX75

the coax to cut off the board is the RX OUT. it is for receive in some radios, but is not needed in the 29LTD.

in the pic that mack posted above, this would be the one near the bottom left.
NOT the one thats right next to the cap that gets removed!!!
that is your RF OUT and if you cut it, you will have to remove the board from the unit and solder on a new cable there.
i guess you could remove the receive coax by unsoldering it and then use it for the RF out coax.

i sure hope you did not cut the wrong one, that would be a PITA.

Could be a number of things. Did you remove all the right components per the instructions? Solder bridge maybe while removing or installing anything? I would check over the board and connections very carefully several times.
