I just got my first mobile, a used HTX-212 (45W on high power).. When
I have the car engine off the transmit bars only light up about half
way. When I drive they go up farther but I still have trouble hitting
the repeater while my HT hits it with no problem. Are these power
fluctuations normal?

Thanks,

that is definetally not normal. do you have a SWR meter ? or any kind of
meter you can attach to the radio to see what is coming out of it ?

how is the 242 on receiveing in comparison to the ht ?
