Re: Mobile Phone External Antenna

There are a couple of issues with having the antennas close together.

1. A nearby antenna, can casue high VSWR to your cb.

2. It can casue a poor radiation in the irection of the other antenna.

It can casue damage to the front end of the mobile.

Re: UHF Receiving but not sending GME TX3200

Get the antenna checked as often a faulty antenna, cable or incorrectly terminated shorted RF connector will casue the PA tranny to blow.

Re: UHF Problem

The fault discription indicates a blown PA in the rig.

To confirm ( and also to check your antenna), get someone to do a VSWR check. The watt metter will indicate the transmitt power (should be 5 watts), plus confirm where the problem is ( radio or antenna)

RE Fuse panel,

The navara fuse panels are crap

I have started using marine grade fuses panels at work.

Depending on your power requirements they are great, plus as they are designed for marine use they can get wet.

The power drain depends on the model being used.

Im curranly using a gme 3400 and that draws very little currant on standby mode . I used to run a Motorola Syntrx, and on standby it would flatten a battery within three days. ( the Syntrx was running high power)

Most brands of radios now days have removable mics. If its a fault in side the rdio, it will have to go to a tech a repair. (If its worth repairing)

You could have a faulty cartridge in the mic or a cable fault

How old is the rig?, is it under warranty.
