    OK I went back I see that you said there was no SSB power so if you see frequency Flash with the frequency counter at the antenna there must be something a slight bit of power if you have another radio you can listen to while transmitting on the Washington that might help decide what's...

    How are you testing the frequency? and does it produce power in the 12 to the 15-watt range?

    I must confess I sometimes post without that little voice in the back of my head that keeps telling me don't assume that voltage testing is part of the routine don't ever assume that frequency testing with either a scope or frequency counter is part of the routine, so for the record, the first...

    You say it tests fine but do you see the frequencies being Actually, I did ask if the SSB Power was working but I don't know if he ever responded to that question?

    What caused L39 to burn up ?

    Well, the best I can remember L39 is the choke thru which the collector current for the final is fed. So if the Final shorted from collector to emitter it's plausible that could get the choke pretty warm but a proper fuse in the radio should have prevented that, "I think" but maybe not it is...

    Cobra 25 LTD Classic, no voltage change tuning

    Do you have schematics and alignment info? No disrespect intended but what is your level of understanding of how this radio or any radio works? And then we can figure out what we need to do to guide through the process. not every part of in radio will necessarily have a voltage or signal that...

    BBI amps, anyone heard of them?

    Pill factory

    I understand the above, but one of the hallmarks of the repair industry "at least where CB amps is concerned" I get as many as 150 amps a year to repair and turn away that many, and in my world the 2SC2879's the 2890's, the SD1446's the MRF455's, etc are KING!. We can discuss till the cows come...
