I am working on my buddy's 29, he's having problems with it drifting channels. Sometimes he will lose people on 19 flip to 18 and there they are. I have checked the voltages on the 2816 PLL and they are good. Pin 10 is perfect at 5.12 mhz, pins 12 and 13 are dead on at 10.24. Pin 22 is the...
I have a really nice Phillipine 76XL that had no carrier or modulation. I tested the driver, 2sc1957, that was bad. I don't have any so I figured I would throw in a 2314 driver and 1969 final. BTW, the final that was in there was a 2029. After putting these in I still had no carrier or...
Having a problem aligning this 29... I am trying to align the TX and the lowest I can get with L24 is to 27.191, the slug is all the way to the top when I get down to that frequency. Not sure what the problem is. This radio has a bunch of mods done to it, not sure what all of them are. Any...
I am messing around with this radio and I hear nothing if I have my NB in any position but off, with it off I get low voume. I tried it with an external speaker and it is low volume also, unless I have the NB on and then nothing. I tried it on PA and it is LOUD! Any idea where the problem...
I picked this Grant XL up at a hamfest for a great price but am having problems getting it aligned... I am using these alignment instructions
The Defpom Grant XL (PB-208AA) alignment page
When I first put it in my truck the tx and rx were not that great, I figured it needed to be aligned...
I am having a problem with the NB on this radio, it doesn't matter what position I have it in, it makes NO difference in the noise level, all 3 positions sound exactly the same. I did do the schottky upgrade last year to it which I liked, I don't think the noise got any worse since doing it. I...
I bought this radio brand new and tuned up at R & R Communications. The radio worked great but the talkback was wayyy too loud for me. I saw on the cbtricks site for the Galaxy 88 (I think) that you could run a 4k7 resistor from the c154/r207 trace to the c187/r235 trace and it would lower the...
