Antenna Connection?

Are you receiving anything?

Sometime the BNC mount on the radio will break contact with the center
conductor.

Thanks All.


I have upgraded the DSP to 1.4.

I tried loading all the frequencies with Arc 96. No Luck. Nothing is locked
out, I don't think the frequencies are rounding either. They display as:
856.26250.

Any other ideas? Please help save my Pro96 from Ebay!
