Uniden Washington troubles.....Need help

[farmboss]

Ok first of all it transmits 7mhz low off frq and rec there also because if i turn the clarifier up i can just start to hear people on the channel.. the slide mod has not been done to this radio..It also does this on all 40.. The other thing is when I talk in the radio its got good power but the frquency counter goes crazy like its reading the frequency of my voice...Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated...

Sounds like the Washington just needs a good alignment done. The counter bouncing around when you modulate is completely normal. Only time it should not bounce around is when you throw a deadkey with no modulation. It shouldn't bounce around then.

Get it to a good tech to have a good alignment done on the radio and that should solve your troubles. Good luck!

I absolutely agree. An alignment should rectifie the problem. Another good idea would be while it's cover is off, recap it. Therse a couple of sellers on eBay that sell a full set of caps for the Washington.

When I had my Washington aligned I also had It recapped. Even if you think I doesn't need it. It will probably benefit the performance and may save you future trubble.
