Give it a rest James. I'm working with Scott to correct whatever problem he's having be it an antenna issue or anything else.

Start the tuner and look at the frontend settings.It looks like the original tuning data was not programmed into the radio.
Try to adjust the frontend with a low power transmitter and check the reference frequency.

Grog / NSPD:

Obviously you both know this belongs in the Feedback Forum, not here.

Let's please keep this thread to the topic at hand.

Like I said, i'm sending my RIB and Cables to you so that you can tune it a bit better to correct the problem. I'll walk you through the process as well over the phone.
