Thanks for this help it’s much needed and very helpful

Well the Galaxy 2517 is mine now I traded a working radio for it hope to get back on it later in the week. I changed caps in radio and got a 1/4 watt dead key finally and the am regulator was a diode on the transistor checker so I’m going to go threw that section pulling parts and checking be a...

Thank you and yes with the 2517 on my bird dummy load and my cobra 2000 on my antenna at home I can get a s7 signal on the 2517 but will not show any watts on my 5 or 10 watt slug. No if I put both radios on ssb I get audio but on am it just keys the s7 with no audio. Also the radio receives the...

Also I have replaced driver and finals because he still wants them replaced (bought few yrs ago from rf parts they are the good ones) and put in new am regulator, took swing mod out ( diode), put new 945 modulation transistor back in the radio as it was gone, I just am not familiar with these...

I have a 2517 that came to me from a friend and said I can hear people fine but I can’t get out to them so I assumed blown final so I first did alignment until Ltd part it will not key up any power on a meter but will show signal on nearby radio. So I pulled the finals and driver and checked...

Thanks for this I want to try this out and learn more of it

Thanks for the help again I had L7 and L9 slugs at the top of the can and put a 101 cap on L7 to bring it back in and a 68 cap on the L9 one now the low guys are real close now after the alignment was done. Thanks again y’all don’t realize how much you help me out on this page in keeping the...

Ok thank you very much for that. Is d-12 and d-13 a special diode or different from the others

Do you know where and why I can check to test it?

Ok I’ll pop the lid off and look at the cans but yea it’s been around a few technicians. I’ve removed a bunch of crap mods off this radio to be back stock as I can get it. Thanks for the help.

Has anyone tried the latest 2030+ yet besides me it must need a different bias setup from the 520 mosfet with a 470 a diode and a 3.3K to run it cause it only did 5 watts pep pulled it out and dropped a 520 in and 35 watts output then

Could be the insulator or plastic screw on the audio chip causing it to ground or the wire from the audio chip not soldered on came loose. I’d be willing to bet it’s one of those or the chip is bad

Hello i have a cobra 2000 that has a big issue with volume control and I was wondering if anyone knew a trick to get this radio to where I can set the volume and the ones closer to me won’t blow the speakers out but I can still hear the guys that’s at a bit of a distance away also. I’m...

Yes I can here a light snowy sound on the radio I talk on threw my antenna back on my hill probably 200 feet away from me with this 142 on a dummy load and when I key the radio it moves my base station sig meter just about 1S-unit

Ok thanks for that info I just put the old crystal back in it in case I was going to mess it up. I still can’t get it to transmit anything I do have receive now however it’s not 100 % yet but it’s more than I started with. I’ve changed out the so42 chip driver and final am regulator voltage...

I put a new 11.325 in now on ch 19 am at tp1 on the counter I get 35.620 MHz and it should be 34.9850mhz can I get some help on what’s off now I’m bout to go crazy lol

It has a 11.1125 main crystal in it shouldn’t it be a 11.325?

Tea berry stalker seems to be the same board as 142 so I did alignment couldn’t get any tx alignment til I put my scope on the combiner then adjusted tx coils for max on scope but still nothing on watt meter but more signal on my other radios meter now but still no audio in am and very weak...

Thank you for this I’m able to read them for the most part I’ll see how this goes tonight after work thanks
