A standard 3300 hp I seen get up to 40 watts peak,
normally I would turn the audio pot up all the way never snip anything and deadkey down to 2 watts. Than adjust for forward swing, I also never run a pwr mic. Good luck

Are you sure that you're on the AM mode? It sounds more like you're on LSB or USB. If you are on AM, the problem may be the power control (VR6) inside the radio.

SOURCE: ONLY 2 WATTS DEAD KEY AFTER BEING PEEKED/TUNED AND MOD KIT.

Has anything changed with your antenna or your power supply ? The only real way to get an accurate reading is to check it with a dummy load and form a base line from there.Good Luck

SOURCE: Knob setting of front of radio (Connex 3300)

The best way to set it is to get you a radio check, go to channel 19 and ask someone about three to five miles away to give you a radio check, start with your modulation all the way open and go from there.....hope this was helpful...

The proper setting depend on what you are doing with the radio at the time.

Connex 3300 HP ,tx light on,dead keys 45 - 50 watts ,no modulation

Check for a Bad, whats called the AM regulator on the back corner of chassis by pwr connector. 2sa or 2sb styles. 2sb817 if available is a good $3 replacement.

No transmit signal

Does the unit work when it is not hooked up to the linear? The obvious choice is that you have blown finals in the RF output section of the radio.

Got a connex 3300HP has a ranger board and chipset won't modulate recieves fine keys up relay clicks needle doesn't move no voice either cant find schematics

You may have a dead meter.
Modulation is audio's affect on swing wattage or pep. Notice that needle moving more with your voice.
Dead key or carrier wattage is without your voice enhancing the power only with mic keyed.
I can only assume that the chipset you are referring to is an ic chip audio or pll which must be working if you are receiving audio.
Check your mic cord................ transmit and modulation and even your receive volume can be affected by the cord/mic plug solder joints or broken wires here.

I need to tune my connex 3300 so I can run my linear.can someone send me directions on this...

you will need a good watt meter and dummy load. or any cb shop can do it for $8.. thats the normal charge here in texas. keep the wattage low, so you don't damage the amp. less than 5 watts max

My connex 3300 wont transmit anymore and the talk back wont work either,i have tried a different mike and when you key it up the meter still won't swing.

Plug in an external speaker to the pa jack ... Switch the band selector to pa and see if you hear yourself... No? Bad audio chip

Does anyone know the pod too turn for lowering the watts on my connex it is too high and i would like to turn it back also the modulation thanks

You have to adjust the high key first so make sure you're rf power is on high, hope you have a meter set it on the 20 watt scale, key up and turn vr 13
located in back of radio infront of where you're coax connector is until it keys around 12 watts, thats where most connex 33hp should be set,now go to low power and key adjust vr 16 right net to the otherone down to about 3 watts, now you can drive a liners. Mod is Vr 2 right below them two. whistle in mic and turn to get the mod you want.

Modulation with my linear

the radio you are trying to fry your amp with is driving the amp to hard. that radio has a toshiba 80 watt final inside the radio you are killing your radio with the dead key at 2 watts it causes the final to overheat and shut down because it is not built to be turned down that much. its best to turn the radio back up and use the radio.
