Thanks 399 for the above information. Ok let me find out if I got this right.
Target Transistor is 2N5770.
Monograms Oh Lordy. No simple way to figure Ft. Ft = 900 at 100MHZ
I am totaly Lost. Alright. After looking at 4 different manufacturers data sheets got this.
1800 MHZ
so HFE =...
Just picked up an early 8719 Washinton base with similar issue. As it turned out.
During its life someone put a PE Mod with the final volted. 2 watts. They had a 2sc2166 driving a 2sc1969.
The 2sc1969 was bad. Several caps were out of tolerance. The original is a 2sc1306 driving a 2sc1969.
I...
Okay,
An old thread. Just maybe 399 might have some information !
I purchased off FleaBay a talkback speaker with hookups. Works fine on the Cobra 19 VI
which is a test jig for Mosfet finals. Works on an old Uniden Pro 510 that I use as a test
fixture for NPN Bipolar transistor finals.
But...
:whistle: Thanks a lot !
399 you obviously know how to read the spec sheets of these transistors. What about the above circuit using a pair of BC347 ? It is hard and to match up transistors. The circuit above with resistors matches the BC347's.
Now that I think of it. Pairing 2 2sc1370L !
I...
Old Thread,
Maybe might catch 399's attention I have several 858 radios. Just picked up for $20.
A Washington Base two push buttons 858 chip. Replaced the 1307. Replaced the AMC diode limiter that had been cut. She works !
Still a Golden Screwdriver but getting better fast. What do you think...
Hi 399,
Thanks for taking the time to post the Links.
I actually found the first one after posting here.
The web page author states raising the Trc 457 power Supply to 14.8 Volts ?
Has to be a misprint.
The original 3300uf in my Trc 457 was Bulging. I replaced with 5 x 1000 uf. All I had...
The thread is not that old.
The wayback machine does not have a copy of the webpage link posted above.
I have a working Trc457 Navaho that I just recapped and aligned.
I would like to expand the frequency coverage. 80 up 40 down without buying an expensive kit if at all possible.
Maybe the...
Funny stories !
Well here is a true recent one.
This past Halloween ran out of cigarettes.
I was frustrated with a no R/TalkBack/PA audio issue on an old Galaxy 959.
Drove to a 24 hr Wallgreen. Now this is supposedly the Heartland State. Propaganda.
Its all Phony and learned behavior. Most...
Hi Tramdr,
You are quite knowledgeable . Judging by your many U-tube video's I stumbled across. Also numerous posts.
Can you part with a copy of the Service Manual? I have a good chunk of it.
Unfortunately the person who sent it to me had a computer crash. So missing parts.
In my opinion...
My CPI 2000 developed issues. So Im running a ARF 2001 in my little car. Stock no Channels.

Developed issues a few weeks ago. No go finding a Tech sooo improving my skill sets. Might get it running in a few weeks.
Running it in my Car ARF 2001 now...
:mad:
Happy thanks giving !
An old thread. Well a Voltage chart. Ok.
Changed out AF to NTE 153, changed out audio ic, upgraded voltage regulator.
Tx with modulation.
No RX, No PA & talk back audio on internal or external speaker.
Anybody have a clue?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Doggedly looking for the service manual for this radio.
I have the original Manual with schematic.
Willing to pay a reasonable price for the manual.

Hi,
On ebay REAL cheap. .01uf 50volt disc capacitors On the + of the speaker solder 1 to ground.
Ferite chokes 10 pieces just a few bucks from 3MM and up. ShitShack is expensive.
Put these on all + side wiring going to the Alarm station. Place more .o1uf caps on all +
terminals. Also .68 ohm...
