I have a working mic from an Alinco DR 600. I no longer have the radio.

It's the offset frequency I am trying to change not the plus or minus, .0600/.0500, etc.

I am trying to program this radio and discovered that the offset freq. can't be set on this radio. The owners manual says it is set automatically IAW the ARRL band plan. I did a hard reset prior to reprogamming and now I can't get it to transmit. The only setting I am unable to set is the offset freq. (is it possible my mic went south?) The strange thing about it is it was working fine a couple weeks ago. I took it down to relocate it and now.....
I tested the antenna with another radio and it works fine so there is something obviously not right with the radio all of a sudden.

Okay so here was my solution. There is a plate so to speak where the clutch linkage would go thru the firewall. Obviously on standard shift trucks this opening would be occupied. There are two nuts that hold this plate on and are easily accessed from under the dash. I popped it off, drilled a whole just big enough to run the power and antennea cables thru. Bolted it back in to place, a shot of rtv to seal the opening and I am in business. By the way, on this year vehicle it was very difficult to find someplace to mount the antenna but Pro-fit sells a fender mounting bracket made for this year vehicle. 10-4 good buddy!

Alot of great feedback folks. I will surely explore the options mentioned here. I will post the results when done.

Does anybody have any suggestions, experience, or otherwise on a good route to run antenna and power cables thru the firewall into the cab on a 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel?
