Just picked it up for $25.00
Replacing the meter light since its burnt out, with an led.
Haven't had a chance yet to use it waiting for a mate to bring a 5 pin mic. This one has rx and TX light. 3 push buttons mod, Chan 19(doesn't work) and another button forgot what it was. What pot is the modulation pot? Vr8? And also radio has ssb. Its almost minty. Cheers

That should have the MB8719 chassis in it if it's 3 button.

VR7 controls SSB output, Clip R104 or change R104 to a 100k ohm resistor to open up AM modulation.

The 3 buttons should be Mod/RF, NB/ANL, and Channel 9.



~Cheers~
 
hi, thanks. where is the deadkey pot? cant find it need to turn it down its 5w which is too high for my needs. ??? so which one does am and which one does am modulation?

says P400 on front of radio the channel 9 button doesnt work which im not concerned about,
 
IF your Uniden Washington has the 8719 PLL chip in it; then:

VR1 Signal meter
VR2 Squelch
VR3 TX Frequency
VR5 Carrier balance
VR6 AM power
VR7 ALC
VR8 Driver Bias
VR9 Final Bias
VR10 RF power meter
VR12 Modulation meter
L1 Noise blanker
L2 Noise blanker
L3 I.F. 1st stage
L4 I.F. 2nd stage
L5 RX (6th stage)
L6 RX (5th stage)
L7 RX mixer output (4th stage)
L8 RX (3rd stage)
L9 RX (2nd stage)
L10 RX (1st stage)
L13 VCO
L14 VCO output
L17 AM offset frequency
L18 Loop mixer
L19 LSB loop frequency
L20 AM loop frequency
L26 TX mixer input
L27 TX mixer input
L28 TX mixer output (1st stage)
L29 TX (2nd stage)
L36 TX
L39 RFI low pass filter trap
CT1 USB offset frequency
CT2 LSB offset frequency
CT3 USB loop frequency
 
ok just found out that the radio is transmitting between freqs??? im not sure what to do now?
 
*Check to see if the clarifier is unlocked and has a lot of khz range/change.

*Look for a switch. Might be one of the panel switches.

*Might need alignment.

ok on AM the clarify must be all the way to the right or im off freq. on ssb its very touchy and slides like 7 channels up and down :( needs a re alignment. so i figured it out the clarify does this, if im on 20 and need to go to 19A i just put the clarify at 12 o clock, need to go to 19 just all the way to the left.
channel 9 does not work...? and with the NB/ANL pushed in i cant transmit nor do i receive? weird part is inside it does not looked hacked or butchered up.

I sent you a PM. If it says P400 on the front it's a different board in there. If memory serves me right, it should have a D2824 PLL board in there. Get back to me when you can.


~Cheers~
 
morse,

your washington is the MB8719 version if it has the 5 pin mic plug on it.

dont use the info unrealstunner gave you, its for the upd858 washington.
