    Sorry if the pics aren't too good, (iPhone). I ended up putting talkback in with a switch to hear audio as pa again.

    Absolutely, when I get home from plowing I'll try to get some real good clear pics of the board both sides. Yeah I've searched for a bad trace but you all know, after a Few minutes, everything kindof blurs lol. Kindof like looking for your keys. Once you stop looking you'll find them

    Absolutely. I have a decent multimeter, Klein mm200. And this is why I want somebody with knowledge to chime in possibly. So that I don't need to go around swapping parts back and forth and possibly cause a whole new problem like I have stated previously. I build replica antique guitar amps...

    I will, also my radio is a 29 nw ltd classic. I can't find a specific manual for that, all I come up with is the 29 st nw whatever. I do not have night watch, as far as the complete radio inside and out, it looks 100 percent like he regular 29 besides the little ac power converter supply for the...

    I don't have the pa wiring in here anymore, rx and tx sound exactly the same. The audio IC is the one bolted to the chassis, about 1" long? I have another in the donor

    Cobra 29 nw ltd classic, no receive.

    I understand that. But I only have what I have. It's harder to find the issue without the proper tools, Having every tool in the book makes it easier yes but if I could get an understanding of this board, my many many donor parts and my good multimeter should get me by, just don't know how to...

    I'm not sure how to test them. But I have donor radios with the same transistors and caps and I've put 6 different transistors in its place. Once you touch that one last leg to the board it goes silent. I followed the circuit as much as I could and swapped other caps resistors and some diodes...

    Cobra 29 nw ltd classic, no receive.

    Ask as many questions, the more details we give eachother, the easier is is to narrow down the issue. Ok as for rx/tx lights, they are working as they should, it goes directly from green to red. And also, I mess with squelch and nothing changes, possibly disabled because of tr13 removed, but...

    I have replaced every cap. C48 twice lol just because. That surface mount cap you speak of, is that the little ceramic going to ground on the chassis?

    every one of the forums i read the steps where they say remove tr1, they figured their problems out but was other issues, i try to join to speak to them, but there is n registration on these forums etc so i have no way to even message the person reccomending removal of tr13, obviously they know...

    Cobra 29 nw ltd classic, no receive.

    I've done everything they're recommendinbesides remove each diode resisor capacitor and l test. Can't really test them on the board because resistance gets put throughout it right? Still though. I read 3 places about "removing tr13 and if audio comes back " and they don't go any further on...

    Cobra 29 nw ltd classic, no receive.

    I cant test pa, while the radio was working good, I had removed wiring for pa when I utilized the switch for another purpose to turn power on and off for my 203 stinger board, (which worked flawlessly by the way), I never use the pa function so said, screw it, heres my spot instead of drilling a...

    Cobra 29 nw ltd classic, no receive.

    Ok. I've been playing around with 3 different radios. I took a 1969 final from another dead 29, it now puts out 3 watts, have very little distorted tx audio picking up on a good radio here, still no rx what so ever on this 29, needle moves as it should, in rx and tx. Now I'm wondering where to...

    Honestly I have done every one of those steps. And nada. I have plenty of radios around to listen and rx back and forth, watt meter etc. doesn't show output in meter
