So I clipped onto r157 TP1

tp1 adjust L19 for 34.9225 and I read 35.1221 for lsb
tp1 adjustct3...
So I decided to align a trc490 ssb radio same as a washington with 8719/8734.
PC 385 board
radio came with a mb8734 and was changed to a mb8719 with the 11.3258 xtal.
In the service manual says the following at TP1 lead of r157.
So I clipped onto r157 and

Thanks for the info I got it to work.
On a washington/trc RS490 same radio.
Used TP1 R184 and you cant use a long wire. also I have a roll of rg316 coax and used a piece about 24inches long worked great picked up all reg channels and also all the extra channels high and low..
Of course...
can the pictured freq counter be added to a cobra 148gtl and A Washington base?
Where is the best point on a Washington base with pll 8734/8719 to attach wire.
What is the offset for these radios to be set on freq counter?
I just need to do Am channels at this time to monitor.
thanks

thanks for the reply and info.
I figured that a long cable would be a problem.
Im just working on a new channel kit a microchip mod that will expand the 8719 and 8734 plls radios from 26.495 to 28.325. Teststing on a Radio Shack trc490 same as a Washington at this time.
Only...
Is there a cheap frequency counter out there that will work on all the cobra president uniden radios that use the mb8719 and mb8734 pll.
Looking to wire one internally in the radio and have it sit on top. Of course a cable will be needed to connect inside and then also power the counter.
Need...
Thanks for the info.
Yes lost some pads no big deal as the trace and pads real small and thin traces.
So Ill see if i have a 7414 hex inverter to try.
I will post back with update
Here is a picture of the board and 6 pins used and 4 pins tied together.
the 4 pins tied together 2 and 2 are not used with any trace to the mc145106P.
Kit is working pretty good.
I know for sure the 18 pin is the MC145106P pll.
Im still looking on what might be the 14 pin chip use on this kit. here is picture.
Any suggestions/Ideas
So I tried the kit and it works pretty good. I was able to get to 28.535 and down to 26.515 with power enough to transmit. You need a freq counter to know where you are. It did go to 29.325 if I tuned the radio for that high but retuned back to 28.535 - 26.515. Also had to add a toggle to jump...
I finally received the channel kit with easy directions and how to broadband the vco.
Remove the 8719/8734 and add a socket. Then this kit plugs into the socket.
Comes with a 5 position rotary sw that has a couple of diodes on it.
no ground no power wires just plug in
In the pictures would...
Thank you all for the info and help and suggestions just something im toying with at this time. I do have some info and a kit on the way will be about 3 weeks delivery and then to install in radio. See what happens.

In my net search I did see that but needs to be connected to the DigiMax.
the one I saw on a site explains>
remove the 8719 install socket and plugin the channel module.
then mount the rotary sw.
No hooking to a digimax.
So Im hoping to track this down as it looks very interesting for a channel...
From what little info I have you need to have the 11.3258 xtal in circuit and you can see a rotary switch.
I also know there is another chip on the channel board.
Here is another picture with the 2000 going to 29.125mhz.
Thats about all the info i have on this channel kit.
