Shade, I think it should "force" them to look at ALL of the spectrum they use. If you make them "go looking" for it.... I figure they WON'T go looking for it and won't believe that it is a problem!!!! ;)

A meter that had the intelligence to "act like" a spectrum analyzer.... and break the sampled signal into "frequency spans" and show the signal strength for each span in a tabular form. Why? To prove that "peak and tune"... using only a simple power meter.... isn't doing WHAT THEY WANT YOU...

At this point I have an old Hameg 5006 (512 MHz w/tracking generator) It is good enough for general bench work like what you are talking about (general alignment needs and 54 Mhz trap)... BUT it does NOT do absolute readings (frequency OR signal level)... and I would like to have that base...

ozcber, I got back and took a look at what I had..... and I am not scanning this. THIS is the official SAMS scan copy. This is what Howard SAMS would sell you if you ordered it. One avenue that you may try....... In this very forum .... right up at the top.... member Dan McClain has a...

I am out of town and won't be able to until I get back home. We have a family medical situation on our hands an that may not be until the weekend. I hope you can understand....

@danmcclain @sunbulls Thank you both for the excellent work. I am grateful for this.

The one that I have.... The faceplate control locations are identical.. but mine does not have a modulation lamp.

It does not have the modulation lamp/indicator...... the color scheme is identical..... But it appears to be identical . Every control matches position perfectly. I will pull this down and take a look. Thanks!!!!

Dan, I am back again........ It looks like a radio .... GRAND PRIX D-1325RF Should be in CB-132. Can you check and see if you have that? Another member here has suggested that this could be a match for this "Smokey 23" that I just bought cheap. Thanks, Bob

Wow.... and thank you for the effort you put in!!!!! I will take a look........

Okay, for the face appearance, the Smokey is on the left. The board give you the general layout.... sort of.......

Here is the deal.... One of the two radios I just bought was a Smokey 23 "branded" radio. No tag on the back.... nothing. Possibly just a lower end product that some company threw out there just to "get on the bandwagon" back in the day. The reason I bought is... a friend has a "Smokey 23"...

For clarification.... Everything you described sound like an audio problem. Except.... you said..."transmit works fine". Are you including modulation in that transmit? Does modulation work in transmit??

Thinking a little. more..... I'm glad it went to a pickup desk at Dollar General. If it had gone to a home I would probably never see it again.......

Ordered a pair of old radios off of Ebay from a seller in Florida. For a whole WEEK the tracking info LOOKED LIKE it had not been picked up from the seller by Fed Ex. Today... I got an email from Fed Ex happily informing me that my package is READY FOR PICKUP. YAY!!!!!!!! At the Fed Ex desk...
