But, But, Larry, the above only proves that the unit is radiating RF,
NOT that it is capable of actually modulating voice on that RF.....
The HandiTalkie will tell him if the unit is actually modulating
voice, but, REALLY, he needs to get the whole radio over to a
"Good" Radio Tech, with good instrumentation, and get the system
check out.....



I told him to listen to it on a walkie, FIRST, to see if it were
modulating....THEN, suggested adding the little meter so he could monitor
its output and antenna condition on the cheap. Modulation does no good
if he's not getting beyond the end of the bow....(c; He should do both.

Hauling the radio over to some shop at $180/minute ISN'T going to find
that twisted-off coax cable at the Shakespeare up the mast....We checked
everything else except its frequency for $40. They don't drift off in
frequency any more in the last 25 years.
