Ok i wasn't really looking to trouble shoot a photo of a radio from the net was just a thing that gave me a chuckle and i shared, my mistake. 73's

Hi folks been gone a while found this old bookmark thought i would drop by and say howdy. Found this radio on fleabay some thing for your amusement was in the sold list for $2,700 ...A cobra 2000gtl check out the board is it me or this thing missing X3 (11.3258) ,,how the heck would it work lol

Yes it was on the back of the board and so small would be easy to miss

With nomad's help I found the issue a smd resistor covered by a bad solder joint on IC5 put in at the factory by mistake and caused the issue. New look at the output signal after the fix

Update: there is no update lol got a new pic of what is going on tho.

I have several of these i could sell if you need one pm me

If any one needs one of these I have some brand new one not old pulls and they ring slightly higher and are easy to trim down to freq with radio's stock trimmers.

http://www.cbtricks.com/radios/galaxy/dx2527/dx2527_clarifier_mod.htm This what i found on the mod Reversed the mod no change still tx and rx on several channels at once

I will check into that, as far as the radio goes it does 100 watts out good sound just transmits every where at once

Still stumped on this radio

Old thread but new link here ya go.]: http://www.thomasdistributing.com/CB-Radio-Repair-Manuals.html

I read that the filter FL3 is so cheap that is why it tx's and rx's so wide. I would like to hear if any one has a saturn turbo or eagle 5000 or 2990 having any issues like hearing next channel over clearly. I changed out FL1 and FL3 and no change.

I aligned this thing 7 ways to sunday and can not get the spurs out only way is to detune it so bad output is at all most zero. I used 4 different radio procedures. Unless there is something different on the stock Sm for the radio that i am missing.

Thanks for the info ~Cheers~

I changed it to 2 50 ohms works fine, I did find a schematic of another it seems to have an extra circuit in it using IC2 a pic and 4Mhz xtal some kind of clock timing function?

In this amp there are 2 resistors R2 and R3 (maybe a voltage divider for the Hi Lo Sw3 whick looks like Hi Lo input adjust?) the schematic shows the values of 68 Ohms each but in the amp it has R2 15 Ohms and R3 47 Ohms. Was this done to change the input range? What would two 50 ohms do there...

I do not have any resistors under the board but one for the clarifier mod and one on IC20 a TDA6130 double balanced modulator IC BTW first digit on mine is a 4

Here is look at the output on my SA settings shown on photos and does it ever look ugly i think it can spur wifi freqs lol. This is in Am mic gain off and power set to 5 watts the 100 watt rf amp is not connected in the radio. . Here is a shot at 1 MHz span it spurs at every 100KHz on 11...

I will toss it on the SA and see what the spacing is on tx and thanks for looking also I noticed A choke missing on the radio L33 that is on the schematic not sure if it matters but it is in the circuit that you adjust VC3 for the lowest harmonic at 54MHZ so says the alignment page using a...

I will use this old thread.. I have a eagle 5000 that txs and rxs way to wide you pick up clean 3 channels in either direction and tx the same plus tx tosses spurs all over the place with or with out the shorting bar in on my spectrum analyzer and not really spurring on the harmonics no real...
