what exactly isnt it doing
1]wont turn down
2]wont turn up
before ya send it back check the gain on the
mic itself.on my omga if it turn it counterclockwise it turns it up works kinda backwards.

instructions say to key up mic and turn mic gain up on radio as the bar graph gets to the end and then turn it counter clock wise till the first graph just starts to flicker,but you cannot turn bar graph up or down same thing with the power knob

move one way or the other at all.am i understanding this correctly.i hope someone
else chimes in here

ok.now whats your dk is it high or low.same for
audio is it low or too high.did ya try adjusting
the mic itself?if its turned down all the way
the radio wont have much if any audio.at least
this is what i found in my delta/and omega.i
think the radios out of tune.just my opinion
and if were ya bought at .says they did tune it
well i dont think so.id either send it back
to rflimited.com or a warranty service repair center.could also email sam lewis himself
