A friend dropped off a box of radios that were not working correctly. All were very simple fixes until I got to this Uniden 880. It receives and transmits but with the volume cranked all the way up it is very week. TX Volume is no problem it is doing at least 100% on the scope. There is not much inside that radio, Including adjustments. Not a lot of info for that matter. Any one have any ideas?

I guess I should mention what I have looked at so far, and it is not much. Cleaned volume pot. Tried jumping Volume and RF Gain Pot. No difference. Could not find any bad solder joints. Could not see that anything was turned inside radio.

I think the pinout I looked at was just wrong too but that’s what happens when you trust a website that you should know better.

Glad you got it though.
