Hi,

I have a Uniden Grant running as a base station, with a Leson power desk mic
connected.

I heard a station loud and clear just now, and I keyed the desk mike to
reply. Probably only transmitted for about two seconds, long enough to say
"Hello there, loud station".

But now the reception volume is incredibly low. Either on the internal
speaker or with an external speaker connected. You need to turn the volume
pretty much flat out and then can only just make out the audio.

I discovered that my young daughter had wound up the knob on the Leson desk
mic to about three-quarters the way round. I usually have it on about one
notch out of ten, something like that.

I suspect that I've fried something inside with such a large power setting
on the desk mic. Is this feasible? Have I literally overloaded the
transmitter by having the desk mic power so high? And why would that cause a
problem with the receiver audio output?

Thanks for any ideas!

Mark.
