If you can easily reach the antenna connection, the simplest way would probably be through substitution. Purchase a made-up cable (remember that it has to be "50 ohm," not "75 ohm") and connect the radio to the antenna with it. If the setup still doesn't work, the antenna is the only item left. While a poor connection between the shell of the antenna's connector and the skin could be a factor, it is unlikely to cause very bad operation. If you haven't replaced the cable in 15-20 years, now's the time to do it, so purchase one of the correct length. Can you make a new cable successfully yourself? Probably not if you have to ask how to test it.

I can hear them, sort of, but they can't hear me. __________________________________________________________________________ ______ To unsubscribe from this list please send mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ___________________________________________________________ T O P I C A The Email You Want. http://www.topica.com/t/16 Newsletters, Tips and Discussions on Your Favorite Topics
