As I continue to get this project working and it really helps I have my stock 2000 next to it for a stare and compare to see what was removd or destroyed. So I have it working, not real well yet, but as hacked as it was...at this point I am happy.
The one thing I am confused by is the S-Meter pegs to the right as soon as I power the radio up. When I transmit, it drops down to show about 4ish watts, then as soon as I un-key the mike back to being pegged. Any one have any ideas?

Just a thought, are you using that 4 wire plus 3? And could your mic grounds that you were trying to sort out be the cause?

No, it does this even without a mic connected. I tried my known good D104 and the same issue

Does this sound like a stuck meter? Of could it be something else?

no...it is now a donor parts box at this point.  There's a reason for this  |
