Cobra 142gtl

As Loosecannon said, install a socket for the chip so you don't damage the new one trying to solder it on.

Just bought a 18-pin ic socket hope that's the one thanks see picture below thanks.

Yep, that socket will work fine. When you install the PLL, you have to install it so the dot on the PLL chip itself matches the location of the dot that's screened onto the board. Since you are installing a socket, you'll want to install it so if the front of the radio is facing you, the writing on the PLL chip is upside down. See pic below. Hope this helps.

Thanks does it need the pll chip to receive?

[ExitThirteen]

yes, it needs a PLL to receive and transmit properly.

Where's all the wax???? (I hate that stuff)

 

[ExitThirteen]

That particular radio didn't have any in there, just a small drop on top of the VCO can was all. My President Madison didn't have any in it either. Don't know why.
