Here is the oscillator board im using its electronic switching. and works well on most radios but the 959 is a bit of a challenge.
Again I can do all 40 above and 40 below for AM but the ssb sides will not align so the middle of the rotary or the 3 way toggle is regular channels and will work...
So I have done plenty of the 959 channel mods and they are on 4 different sections 27.965-26.665 close enough.
I know about the viagra boards-not made anymore.
So i have been reading someones post I saved and seems you can use a oscillator board to add the standard 40 up and 40 down.
use the...
All coax are tight and grounds
C18 is fine I replaced with new one and same results.
So i was on lower ssb 38 and audio is fine no squeal or induced noise in the audio.
When I go to AM and transmit you can hear the noise in the audio.
If I back down the mic and the radio to about 1/4 both, it...
on the plus 3 B mic its 4 wires and pins 2 and 4 are jumped.
on the super side kick its 5 wires.
I will try to replace C18

Thanks nomadradio
1 mic is a super sidekick 5 wire and the other a plus3B is a 4 wire with a 5 pin plug.
The 4 wire mic I have a jump so it will work on the 2000.
The 5 wire mic was already wired.
Both mics induce noise into the audio if turned past 1/4 way up then you can see the meter move up.
The stock hand...
So i got in a Cobra 2000.gtl it had a roger beep and a train noise toy. I removed them and had to rewire the wires back to the mic jack on the radio.

removed D19 checked out ok
Removed C112 and Bingo it was shorted replaced and radio working.
Again thanks to all for the info posted on what to check out.
Thanks for the reply
Already looked and probed for cold solder joints. Just have to get a good schematic and trace back to the voltage thats suppose to be at the pll, im sure that is why no transmit/recv.
thanks
I have a cobra 29LTD lights up bright dim works Green receive Led and red Led work when mic is keyed.
Radio has no receive no transmit and I tried next to a radio to transmit dead cold and i tried to transmit a radio and to see if i had any receive cold dead.
No voltage on any pll pins at all...

I plan on doing that when I get the replacements in. I had 1 part form a bad 1000 so I removed and replaced and again worked.
Since the area of the darlingtons are kind brown from heat I will change all of them and yes cut the ones in there now and do what works best to get the...
Well I had to go try this and replaced Q16 and that did the trick so counter and clock are now working.
One thing I noticed is the clock when its powered off meaning no power at all then I power it back in it starts at 10 hrs 00 min 00 seconds.
supposed to start 00hrs 00 min and 00 seconds with...
