    No it doesn't have a knob to turn dk up or down I just bought it a few days ago it's stock. I used my cobra 29 lx on it with it putting out 4 watt dk and it didn't do what it does with the bc 980 hooked to it. But maybe some cb's are different

    Ya I appreciate the suggestions but finding a cb tech in my area is like finding a needle in a gay stack. It sucks that's why I'm asking a lot of questions about things in forums lol

    Your amp is a low drive, you need your radio tuned down to like .75 deadkey swing to maybe 1.50. Your arcing the tx relay. You could try taking a 19 foot piece of coax and lopping it in a 1.5 diameter citcle, that might work, I would find a tech.

    You are wanting to do things that really only experienced techs should be doing. Yes, you can follow internet instructions and then add your name to the list of "Golden Screwdriver Tweaknicians", and that is O.K. if you are working on your own stuff and trying to learn, but if you want your stuff to be working as good as it can be with no fear of smoking the finals or something, a little investment in some postage might be a better bargain for you.....just my $.02
