    Are you checking swr with another meter or the radio meter? I wouldnt trust the built in meter. When you say that rx is low are you referring to the static level or abscence of incoming signals? I have a 29lx, ltd NW , and 29 LTD chrome and the static level is very low on all three but the receive is very good.

    Im at the Pilot in Waco Tx and they have the 29LXBT marked down to $109.00 from $ 189.00 and I have seen it at that price at other FJ/Pilots, Looks like they are trying to close it out, I dont think the BT concept caught on like Cobra had anticipated. I had one a while back and the one feature it has that the lx does not is a backlit face, only thing I didnt care for is that the mic is 6 pin and they dont include an adapter for 4 pin but as I remember a RCI adapter worked, and the stock mic wasnt too bad it is a noise canceling mic.

    if it uses a 6-pin microphone does it have phantom power coming in on PIn one or Pin 6?
    If so, this would be a pretty cool microphone to put on that radio.
