My radio is getting unusually lousy range - usually about 1/4 mile is all I can get. I start up the base telling it to run at 35 watts, which I think it does. Later, when I get to a 1/2 mile out or so, no radio, and now the range is less than 1/4 mile. Back at the base I find that the output has switched to 10 watts, without me doing anything. It seems to randomly switch power output without input from me. This never used to be a problem last summer, when I was able to regularly close to 1 mile, even in dense canopy.
