Weak volume on D-104 !

[Sonwatcher]

I am transmitting but seem to be weak in modulation. I turn it up until they tell me I'm distorted but my volume is low. I have a brand new battery.I'm loud in my driveway when listening in my truck but any distance and I'm weak. ALSO, when my hand touches the mic the static gets lounder on the radio. I just wired this to work on my Uniden Washington. It is a 4 wire connected to a 5 wire connector. Any suggestions ?

Hi Ron,

Not sure what is the problem with that mic, but I will take a guess that it might be a grounding problem.



Make sure that all wires are securely soldered, both at the mic connector and inside the mic.



Here is a link to proper mic wiring for the Washington 5 pin. Look at Group E for the proper wiring

Is it a D-104 desk mic, or is it a hand mic, like the D-104m6b?

Paul,

You are right ! I grounded my coax outside and my radio. Now it works great !



Thanks !
