    I did as you stated in your post, now I don't have any sound and when mic is keyed I do not transmit at all
    so your info does not work and now I must have it serviced

    Turnkey, I've done work on CB's for years. And those Mods "DO WORK". If you turn the pots to much you will lose audio. If you adjusted the pots without a meter or scope. Back them off.

    I get what your trying to say. It's not necessary to take a radio to a hack and clip CB shop (which is what 98% of them are) just to get a little more performance out of your radio. CB tricks website is full of info for just about any radio and with a little time and a little bit of cash spent for equipment, you can do it yourself with out getting raped by some fool with a power supply and a screwdriver!

    Is there a sure way of telling which way to turn vr5? My 25 is a 91model from the phillipines......I went ccw, but it seems like it was already about 3`/4of the way there.. just wondering if that's an indication to go clockwise. "Redbeast"

    Not to mention most idiots don't understand the difference between a squelch knob and an RF gain knob

    Ranger SRA 198 noise canceling mic is what I use on my 29 NW LTD and the audio is loud and clear and radio is stock.

    I have a 29 LTD Chrome, That mic never worked well. Also bought a K40mic and it sounds weird after a while as well, Do you have any suggestions I waste more money on mics here than anything. My bro now has the SRA-198 and loves it.

    I have been following a thread on the Palomar SL41 mic. It's supposed to be what's hot in the market right now. I have 4 mics as of now and maybe one more soon. I have 2 Telex 56 originals, I have a SRA 198 which I'm using now and love it, and a EV602 that I still have to rewire it to 4 pin mic and like I said, maybe SL41 soon.
