    Cobra 2000gtl Problem

    Sorry, I took the readings in the first paragraph at TP1, not TP10 (typo).

    Cobra 2000gtl Problem

    the only way for me to change frequency is to adjust L19. I tuned the radio to Channel 1 26.96550. I took a frequency reading at TP10 on AM, USB, and LSB. Checked the truth chart and I have those frequency's. I have not made any PLL adjustments. I do have 10.240 MHz at TP13...

    Cobra 2000gtl Problem

    They look like the ones I have. It came with small alligator clips, so I bought the other ones.

    Frequency counter is a Victor Frequency Counter VC3165. It shows 34.6 and it shows 29 for period. Probe is x1.

    Cobra 2000gtl Problem

    Pulled C80 and checked ok. The scope is a DSO Nano V2. I do have a frequency counter.

    Cobra 2000gtl Problem

    C81 ok, pulled and tested. C82 is missing. The SAMS shows C82 as a .047 50V, but the schematic does not show it. It also does not show on the pictures of the part locations. Not sure. I tried my hand at the scope on TP10. I set the probe to X10 - 50V/Div, 1uS/DIV - it showed the vpp...

    Cobra 2000gtl Problem

    I have no problem with Pm. My only thing is others might benefit from our dialogue. The PLL was purchased "new" from Barkett Electronics. The VCO was from a working 148GTL. I will describe what I found when I opened the radio. Volted final: Reversed Opened clarifier: Reversed (looked...

    Cobra 2000gtl Problem

    I have to admit I know next to nothing about the scope. I have every other piece of equipment. I was interested in learning and a friend of mine loaned me his DSO Nano. I played around with it and got it to read frequency's. I had basic electrical engineering in college so I can read...

    I will try to get you a scope reading from TP10. I'm not good using the scope yet.

    Cobra 2000gtl Problem

    It was a typo. Pin 8 on the VCO is 8.13 RX Channel 19 AM I only had time to post the RX as I had to leave for work: TX Channel 19 AM (Cathode of D31 lifted - only way to TX) PLL: 1: 6.76 2: 3.4 3: 0.03 4: 8.10 5: 8.10 6: .06 7: 4.43 8: 4.27 9: 8.17 10: 0 17: 3.78 18: 0...

    Cobra 2000gtl Problem

    When the cathode is removed from pin 6 the anode side is still high, 8 volts. The voltage does not change on L19. When the cathode is connected the anode side shows .72 volts, .18 volts on cathode side. PLL voltages in RX with channel selector set to 19 AM: 1: 6.76 2: 3.4 3: 0.03 4...

    Cobra 2000gtl Problem

    I have a 2000 gtl that was hacked up and did not transmit. I have put everything back to normal (unlocked clarifier, extra channels, volted final). Still does not transmit, not clarifier and the channel selector does not work. If I lift the anode end of D31 I can transmit (TX and RX are both...
