Well they may claim everything is alright but I can tell allot of these guys have no idea what they adjusted inside your radio and almost every time one of these radios comes across our bench it 's a sure bet they have been turning everything they can in an effort to try an get more power and that ...

I'm well aware of problems you speak of but it didn't sound like this radio was drifting it just sounded like it didn't line up on 12 oclock position with other radios he may have been trying to talk to.
