will do i also swapped the antennas as i put on the longer ones when i got these new radios and now i put the shorter ones on and now i can transmit, a couple of different people on the thompson station repeater replied back, if they are here and see this sorry i dont remember your call sign, but i also noticed now that i switched antennas when i transmit i get some static and a clunk like i am supposed too, but i dont get that on my td h3 and it kinda has me wondering if there is an issue with the antenna, might look into getting a replacement and testing to see
