Thank you for any help, Dave.

I have a VHF VX-10 with no receive audio and VERY low transmit power ( about .3 watts on high power settin...

Thanks Kenwoody,

I want to have the radio turn on/off with the ignition key but with the main power wire connected to ingnition I have to manually turn on using the radio power button. I am...

did batlabs go down just weeks after this site was started? Alex, did you "trip" over their power cord?
