Good thinking Joe.

Basically, did it ever work?? And if so, what changed to make it stop working right.

Hi Butch,

I'm not familiar with the 851, but my first thought would be is this a
repeater that was used?? If so, did you first test it on its original
frequency?? If you moved it too for it may be a PLL tuning problem.

I don't know if you have to retune the PLL on an 851 if you move it a
lot in frequency.
