This works good on the PC76XL also, just as Nomad posted.

LC, That lamp would blend in with most radio desks. LOL. I had my radio up until someone broken into my place 6 or 7 years ago and whoever it was decided they needed it more than i did. That large meter on the radio paired up with a set of 5' Heli Whips on the rear bumper made the best Fox Hunt...

Loosecannon, That looks like a 23 channel Regency CR-186 mobile in your avatar. That was the first radio i played on years ago. Had it on a power supply and a 1/4 wave Radio Shack ground plane. It was also the first radio i figured out how to put channel 24 in. That was back when Red Skelton was...

TR45 fixed the fart. Thank you! I was just about to let it keep farting till you posted this. Thank you again.. The popping between channels was the next issue to be looked at and TR45 took care of that also. Killed two birds with one stone. Thank you all for your help.

An external power supply was the first thing i tried.

I just looked on my schematic and the cap on pin 5 of MB3756 is C164. C133 is on pin 3. Both are 10uF.

I have tried several different mic and jumped the pins in the jack on the radio and it still makes the noise. I tried the factory stock mic.

Your right, they don't make them like they use too. I love these old radios. It's hard to find one that's not butchered or beat up though. Yes it done it before i capped it. Others have commented how good the radio sounds but it farts when i key it that's when listened to it with my ft840 and...

Thanks for the reply. That was the first thing i done to this radio and a Madison i bought with it was recap both of them. I've tried different mics, different antennas, changed coax and even grounding differently. It's got me stumped so I figured I'd give it a shot and ask.

I got a deal on a Uniden Washington that is bone stock but it burps/farts when I key the mic. It's not any type of key up noise toy. I've heard that it's a common issue for this radio but i cant find any info online to attempt to fix it other than somebody knew somebody that had a friend that...
