thank you I will try the reeds tonight I believe vforce reeds are able to be flipped will see as they clip in and are held with a slider at the bottom no screws.
But I do remember one as bieng a little too easy moving will let ya know tonight if it works , more left in the wallet sounds better to try first.

 

Hey, I was just curious if you got your kx85 going. Where did you start and end up? I hope the couple posts helped you. Ussually when I resort to blogs to troubleshoot I get too many random inputs that just dont add up. Let us know how things are going for you.

 

Hey Jake

Thank You To all who gave input. with so many different things to check for possible solutions I actually checked but didnt realize til checked again but it was the reeds that were the problem had one floppy one in the middle so flipped it and changed its position til I get new ones have gd low end and good high end power but not as gd in the middle but will be gd for us til replaced.

Again thank you to all who gave input it also helped with dialing in other stuff that was not the best as well.
