hi everyone, im not sure if im posting in the right place (admin feel free to move it to the proper place)
heres the story:
my friend and i were testing out distance using my truck's mobile (Kenwood TK-780) and a Baofeng UV-5R Walkie. the Kenwood is hooked to a mag mount right now with power coming right off the battery. also in the truck i have an audio amp for the radio, after testing the radios, i noticed that my audio feed from the amp was VERY broken up sounding like blown speakers (brand new speakers). so my main question here is, is it actually possible the RF Energy from the Kenwood actually toasted my Amp? ive never heard of something like this occurring to anyone before. it wasnt an expensive amp at all but it was nice, just dont want to replace if itll happen again. i believe the Kenwood was pushing out 45-50w of power.
Thanks, Matt
