Bronzepony, If the transmit is off freq just use the course clarifier to get back to center freq while you key the mic. After that just fine tune the recieve. Also make sure that your 10 kc button is turned off!
I have one of the 148fgtldx+ radios too!. They are awesome sounding in the audio department!

Dave1,
Cobra no longer makes the 148 FGTL DX type radios. I believe the Connex 4800 is pretty much the same radio being made today. Whenever I get the chance to get my hands on one for a reasonable deal I get it! One of the best ever made my opinion. Would not mind owning a stack of them!
