Thanks loose cannon, I’m able to to trace rf/ 27mhz from pin 7 of ic3 to r62. I loose it right there. I’m about to pull my hair out from messing with this thing. When I hook my rf probe to r61 I get nothing I am not able to peak l20. I have pulled both r62 and d14 they are both good. And r62...

In some YouTube videos I’ve seen people put 3300uf electrolytics in cobra 29’s and similar radios, on the dc power jack... but on the rest of your questions i can’t help you.
