Hey all,

i have this little Washington in here,


i have TX but no Rx, i can hear static (normal white Nice every radio makes before you hook an antenna to it)but no incoming stations, not even my handheld 2' away..
i keyed the radio with no coax attached by accident (bad jumper), i have changed the jumper and changed it to a different antenna (i have a dual polarity as well as an omni),
does anybody have any suggestions on what i need to change to fix this problem or at least a specific starting point?
any help is greatly appreciated
 

Well your radio is broken. Hope that helps.

And what does "Monater" spell or mean? Did you mean "monitor" as is monitoring a radio?

MONSTERAUDIO -

You didn't say which Washington you have... there are two different models. One used the Upd858 pll chip, and the other uses the MB8719. If you have the 8719 model then the link provided by Robb is your ticket. But if it's the 858 model, then the problem is probably the T/R relay. Cleaning the relay contacts usually fixes things. Good luck.

OK I just tried to find a 18.2 v zener diode and had no luck, plenty of just 18v, but what watage do I need?

Does anyone know the diode numbers from that cbtricks page to use?
