You need to get a "Good" Radioman to check the deviation of the
transmitter. It should be set at 4.5 Khz for Marine Radio's.
This is what sets the loudness of the transmitter in the receivers
demodulator. I suspect that it is set to low.

Bruce,
I have the same radio with the same problem. I live in Chugiak and was wondering if you could help with any advice about where to take it, or if I should just get a new one.
Thanks,
Dave
