I recently purchased the 578 and I need to crossband from my UHF ht to a VHF simplex frequency.
I have the channel A set as repeater to the VHF frequency and the sub channel B set to the UHF frequency. The problem is the audio level listeners receive on the VHF side is noticeably lower than needed. I am using a Diamond X-700 Dual band antenna atop my 40’ tower and transmitting on the VHF side at turbo and my ht is set at 1watt, which should be fine just under the tower. I’ve tried increasing mic gain from the ht and tried multiple HT’s with the same results.
Has anyone experienced this with the 578? Am I missing something in the set-up?
Thanks for any help.
