  • Sounds like you had a problem with the antenna set up or the corresponding connectors. If not done and checked right you will get an SWR through the roof. When the SWR is high the heat is returned back down the coax to the back of radio and right to the final transistor and smokes it.

  • Your radio being in a box for 3 years should not have really had any effect on its performance. There could have been some dust collect in there. You might have had the power turned up to high. Pop the covers off and see if anything is burnt. That's the first step.

  • Hope this helps.

Connex 4300-400 how many amp can they pull

easy way to find out.. is use the wattage divided by the voltage used will give you amp draw.

so if you in a vehicle.. most are either 12-15 volts.
the radio in theory say its doing 400 watts.
400/12 = 33.3 amps
normal cb that can do 12watts your looking around 1-2amp draw.

When i turn on my connex 4800 dxl all that lights up is the power meter no chanel display or freq display no sound either

The voltage regulator on the right side of the radio (with the parts side up ) is located in between the 2 side screw holes is ether bad or the legs are broke loose . it is a A1869 transistor.can be replaced with a A473 Transistor . Basically it's the same as a Galaxy Radio ,Ranger makes the boards for (RCI ,Galaxy , Connex , North Star ,Super Star, General Lee .) Hope this Helps.
