Marine radio

[final flight]

My radio is receiving but not sending, noticed that the antenna was loose , unscrewed from the base, tightened it up still didn't transmit, any ideas what I need to look for ??? Commissioned the new Simrad autopilot ... this unit is awesome , going to deep six the piece of crap that Raymarine that the marina talked me into buying !!!!

Buy a Shakespeare art3 tester. You can test the radio and antenna. What piece of crap Raymarine is that?

Deff check the connection on back of the radio to antennae, I had to redo the connection on mine, good to go now !!!

Raymarine autopilot is a S1000, they have discontinued this model, the worst product I have ever had , ...... checked all connections? Where do I find a art3 tester ?

Final fight. This may sound odd but I could hear you but you did not respond to me. I know my radio was working  I talked to a guy way up by AES and I was on the south end of the lake.BTW the browns were there, boated 8. . Spoon bite ,green and white.

After I re read my post it just didnt make any sense. Ill try again.When you called me on the radio I answered your call. But you kept calling me and when I answered you did not reply. I think you were transmitting but not receiving. I know my radio was working ok because I talked to someone way up by AES.

This post makes sense............
