I did as suggested and see the following voltages.
RX
Pin 6 8.2vdc
Pin 8 .5vdc
TX
Pin 6 .3vdc
Pin 8 8.2vdc
I also checked the “On the Air” bulb as it’s the only one not working and found something I believe to be strange. I tested the bulb at 12vdc and it works.
I put a dc...
I’m new to this so not sure where to check for the +8v? I did notice the PA works. I think I may need to print out a larger schematic I hate following on a iPad.
i picked up a Cobra 2000 GTL knowing it wasn’t tested but for the price I figured the speaker alone was worth the purchase. Did a normal once over, correct fuse, nothing inside burnt… but I did find 2 loose parts inside, never a good thing. I included a few pics of what I see inside. It looks to...
I have a modulation meter from a DAK IX that I acquired in an enclosure, what it was for I have no idea. My question is can I hook it to my 2000 gtl to view modulation with my 2000 gtl in Power out or SWR?

I started a new thread as the last one got away from me. Im following the alignment procedure in the Owners Instruction Manual.
I checked all the Synthesizer Pin Voltage Chart, the only small issue I see is Pin 6. Pin 6 shows the 2.3 volts in crystal mode but in mAnual I’m only seeing 2.0 volts...
Got back to it yesterday and found a short across Q103 drain and supply. Voltage down from 11.5 to 1.8 With a used 2N5485, ordered a new one as I should see 2.5vdc I am getting the 12.5 dc on the other end.
I proceeded by checking some of the Synthesizer board frequencies using a frequency...
Thanks Nomad I got the Pin 1 issue completed now I’m going to look for the Pin 6 issue. I see it runs to the Cal pull/ push switch and it looks like it’s been messed with so I’m going to follow the wires just wish I had a good schematic for this D201.
Ok matched a set and that did it but it takes a long time to settle in. Pegs far right then very, very, very slowly comes down, about 10 minutes.
now that that was kind of fixed I wanted to tackle the next issue. So I figured I would start at the Trouble Shooting and Alignment.
SYNTHESIZER PIN...
Unit receives good on AM/ LSB & USB, TX on AM dead key 4 watts but not much swing on Modulation at first swings from 4 watts to around 15 watts but after a second only goes 4 - 7 watts. LSB & USB 0 - 15 watts so that fine.
I checked and swapped all the tubes, recapped all electrolytic and HV...
A new group was started just for Motorola Comm System Analyzers. It has over 100 documents, schematics, manuals…. I encourage anyone that has a Motorola Communications System Analyzer to take a look at the files section.
