This roger beep thing is driving me nuts. I can't figure out this keying circuit. Here is the problem. When the roger beep is on, it has the normal duration. When the roger beep is off it stays stuck until i turn the radio off then back on again or switch modes into side band. Before it was...

Ah duhhhh. Did not realize that was the tap they were talking about. Stupid me hahaha. Alright so that has been adjusted but unfortunately though power did go up a tad bit the problem remains. What other radios use this same board? I also have a problem with the roger beep and can't quite...

Turns out the jumper to my wattmeter had a bad connection. I've got 10 watts on AM now however still not entirely good on side band. When I yell into the microphone on USB I can just about get about 12 watts out of it. On LSB I can get maybe 18 watts if I hit a sweet note. When the roger beep...

Indeed, thanks a lot Andy. Onward with the alignment I'm noticing I cannot get the right amount of power out. This thing transmits like a Cobra 148. About 6 watts AM 12 Watts PEP SSB. I haven't done the receiver alignment and I've had radios have low power because the receive alignment...

It seems the issue was C84 27pf ceramic. Not everyday I see that fault but okay, it is working now! Continuing with the alignment. Hopefully no more issues. Thanks a lot!

I'm sure the counter is accurate. I'll admit it's been a while since it was calibrated but considering every other radio I align with it comes out dead center I can't imagine it's off by more than a few hertz. Thanks a whole lot for the voltage chart. Another thing that tells me the freq...

Hey, This is my first time working on one of these Galaxy radios so I don't know if it's a 6900 series. How can I tell? Anyway as Is I have to compensate using the clarifier to get it on frequency. Andy, what do you mean by the gated lines? Hmm am I missing something here? I was assuming...

Hello all, It seems lately I get nothing but strange cases and I can't catch a break with a routine alignment. This time around I have a Galaxy DX2517 base station. Problem with this one is that for some reason the 10.240Mhz oscillator is off frequency by about 1khz. Basically when I go...

Guys. Have been too busy to take up this project again however I am very curious as to what the solution will end up being so please stand by. For the moment I've taken up another of what i thought would be a simple alignment job only to find that I have yet another one of these "weird"...

Hey guys, sorry my internet has been a complete piece of crap lately. Let me go over your posts and try out your suggestions and I will report back. I tried checking the selector switch and the problem isnt there. All voltages appear when and where they are supposed to. Nomad: When I mean...

Hey guys, I have an interesting one for you. I've never gotten a radio with this fault before and frankly it's driving me nuts. I have a Cobra 148 that after aligning everything, side band is always still 1.5khz off frequency. When I put it on LSB I have to turn the clarifier about 15% low...
