Hi All,
I just picked up a Kenwood TK-830g UHF from a friend out of his truck that was working properly in that vehicle. I have now installed it in my vehicle and I am having some issues. When I receive audio, it is VERY quiet... I have to turn up the external speaker all the way to even barely hear it. Also, when transmitting, I can touch a repeater and get a response back, but I am unable to transmit anything but static.
At first this sounded like a coax/mount/antenna issue, but I have tried a completely different piece of coax on a different mount with a different antenna and I get the same issue. I have also tried a different speaker and I get the same quiet Rx issue. I believe everything is installed correctly and the audio that is being received is very clear, it's just VERY quiet and Tx is useless. I have also checked the power connection and it appears to be good and has a good ground. Any ideas on why this might be occurring?
Thanks,
Tim
