K, I got the 730 power problem solved (w102 cut) and it now powers on and figured out, or remembered, that for programming, you have to hold dow the OPT key when applying power to get into program mode.
I programmed the 830 with a test freq before running out the door to work. The programming took, but when I tx from my portable to the 830, the speaker output was so quiet, I could hardly hear it. I then applied an external speaker to the back of the control head with the same result. As to tx from mobile to portable, everything worked fine. I didn't get a chance to try the remote head with the 730 to see if the problem still occured or to try it without the remote kit installed.
What could this problem be?
730/830 low speaker output
