Hi All,

Thanks for the answers on the RS speaker mic.  I'll try to sell it.

On the question about picket fencing, this is just natural fading and will
occur whenever you move with a vhf or uhf radio as things such as buildings
and trees block or reflect the signal for a while.  Nothing wrong with your
radio.

Take care all and very 73.

    That problem occurs with all Ht's I have owned, especially if I am a
considerable distance from the repeater I am trying to work.  Chances are,
you are picket fencing when transmitting as well.

To make the receive better, maybe try to let the squelch out a bit.  It's
the "5" key.  Press it, and adjust squelch with tuning knob.  Then, push the
PTT the save your new setting.

Hope that helps a little.
