Signal getting weak

Post by evanschuck »

HELP!!! When I first installed my PCI MAX 2005 I was extremely impressed with everything about it. My coverage area was awesome because of my tall antenna. However, lately I have noticed a great decrease in coverage area. Has anyone ever experienced something like this, or know what could possibly be causing this decrease? I did make sure that the power output slider was completely up on the control panel that comes with the transmitter. Is there any way to check the actual power output of the transmitter to see what is happening? So now, I am stuck. If you can help me trouble shoot this, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you in advance!

Do check the antenna and cables.

It may be good to take the card out of the pc and
put it back in, perhaps there's a bad contact somewhere.

Thank you for the fast reply. I will check the antenna and cable this weekend, and also reset the card in the pci slot just to be safe.
By any chance, do you think that if there is something happening with the cable or antenna that it could have done any damage to my transmitter?
Once again, Thank you for the help!
