Well, I went back after posting my previous mail and everything
worked. I even caught a guy on simplex 25 miles away testing it on the
floor of my truck. I dont know what happened.

Does anyone know where I could get a manual for it? I could not find it
on the alinco website.

Look here. There is a service manual and down the page is the operating
manual.

You can use the battery to power it in the house if you want to. The rig
may act funny if the battery starts to get low on voltage.
