Problems with receiving and tranmitted signals on 2 meters

[Larry-2]

We gave a new k3 with the 2 meter module built in. When listening and transmitting on 2 meters, our signal is not clear. We have tried several things to correct the problem, but it is still present. We gave removed and checked for bad cables, etc. but to no avail. The problem seems to now be in the K3 system.  Any suggestions? Best. k4mwe.

What do mean when you say the signals are not clear?

Are they distorted?  Are they weak?  Are they off frequency?

Try a more specific description of what you mean by "not clear".

Also, describe what "several things" means.  Tell us what those things are that
you tried.

Did you install the 2m module or was it a factory install?  Are you trying to
use a vertical antenna for 2m SSB?  What mode are you using?

We can help you with the problem if you will be more specific in your
description.

FM or SSB or CW?  Are you transmitting and listening on the right
filters?  Is the NB on?  NR on?
