I'm worried mine is blown cause the day I hooked it up, a guy tried testing it with his YJ as soon as I got the power run. Now my Tx is ungodly strong and bleeds over channels, and my Rx is intermittent, but always weak. Weather comes through perfect

If you don't calibrate it before using it, you'll blow the radio. You've just found that out first hand.
