    My radio (RCI-2950DX) has been acting up as of late. I’m wired direct to my battery in my truck so I’m getting good voltage. SWR is 1:1.2 on 20. Antenna will take 309 watts but I’m barefoot at 25w max on SSB.
    When I key up, there is no dead carrier on AM anymore and when I modulate, I rarely (if ever) see a modulation bar. I used to talk all over with it and it seems nobody can hear me now. I need it checked out around the Ft Myers FL area sometime in the next 3 weeks. Does anyone know of a reputable repair shop near there?
    Thanks in advance.

    First thing you always check is your mic. Is it receiving?

    Yes, it receives well. Mic cord is supported so there’s no kinks. Screwed in tight.

    That website has way too many spam ads and freezes my screen. I can’t navigate. It’s like it’s stealing my info. Thanks anyway

    I pulled up beside a flatbed and talked to him. He said it was all good. I went 1/4 mile up the road and tried talking to him and no reply.

    Yea, I noticed that. After I posted the link, I went there to check it out cuz I haven’t been on there for awhile. Not the same. Let me tag @rabbiporkchop and see what happened and he will know a good shop by you.

    I had a Galaxy Pluto, it had a small kicker(stock in radio) (35 watts)that came with it. It was starting to lose power on getting out. Took it to a reliable shop here in SoCal, the transistors(I think there called) were weak getting burnt out. The shop ended up replacing it at the time with the RFX.75. It work phenomenal. Just a thought for you to think about if it’s weak.


    EDIT; there called “finals” o_O or transistors …..
