Frank, Alan,
I had a similar problem with my Terra radio, bought around mid 94 and finally
flying in 'UM april 99. Probably transmission unreadable about 5 to 10% of the
time until about 11/2 years ago when it just stopped transmitting voice - very
strong carrier wave though apparantly.
I decided that rather than re-design the panel with a new radio, I'd have it
fixed. Sent it to Terra in <New Mexico??> and it was back within 4 weeks. Works
great now. Can get you the address tonight if you want to consider this option.
BTW, I have the standard Europa fin aerial, works ok for me, have been 2-way
with some stations up to 60NM out, and the aerial lead plugs into a panel
mounted
socket for easier panel removal.
chus,
dave
