I just bought a rci2950dx from a electronics guy here in town. He had it sitting on his shelf for a few years and has no interest in radio. He said it didn't work when he got it and thought that maybe the PLL was bad so he replaced it and it didn't help. He put it back on the shelf and I bought it from him for 60.00. It is showing power on my watt meter when I key up but when I key up into a frequency counter it is showing a long ways off from what it should. With the radio set on 27.185 or 28.000 I'm getting a reading of 20.950. I know that he put in the PLL correct as that is the stuff he does for a living. SMT.
So I guess what I need to know is where should I go from here? Can anyone point me in the right direction to test what is needed next? I will need to buy parts but it would be nice to do some testing first. I have fixed a dozen cobra radios in the past but never messed with a 10 meter radio. BTW, This one has been opened up for 11 meters.
