I have a RCI 2980 WX the receive seems to be a tad on yhe weak side.
It transmits fine.
Is there any thing tnat could be done with it,
Or would it be easier to drop a pre amp on it?
I checked the other posts on this subject it is not the P.A switch that was on another post.
Just thought I would jump in and ask.
Thank you Len cef# 189

Leonard.

Yes, a Pre-amp will work.

If you don't have a Signal Generator, go to a channel that's relatively quiet and listen to your speaker while watching your S-meter and try adjusting L-9, L-11, L-12, L-13 and 14 for the loudest and/or strongest receive sound or signal. You may also want to try adjusting L-3, L-5 and L-6.

Go over these coils 3 or 4 times in the order that I gave you. Do this in either USB or A/M. Let's see if that doesn't make an improvement on your receiver.

Thank you Jeff
For the information I will print this out,I am going to have to find some one here in my home town that can work on the radio.
I have a hard time to read the small ##.
Again Thank you for the help.
I would like to pick up a KL-300P amp this way I can put a quick disconect in line to go car and base.
I also have a trpplite 30 power supply to run the amp.
