Hello guys. I have recently bought a non working

148 gtl. I would like to know some opinions on what

might be the problem(s) with it. I have no RX, no

band hiss whatsoever. Also no TX, the light does not

change to red when the ptt is pressed. The PA does

not seem to work also. I have measured voltages on

both MB3756 voltage regulator, and the PLL.

Voltages are as followed: MB3756

Pin 1-11.8V, Pin 2-13.8V, Pin 3-8.3V, Pin 4-0,0V

Pin 5-13.8V, Pin 6-8.3V, Pin 7-NC,

Pin8 (w/PTT pressed)-0,0V

PLL Voltages I did not right down, but most of the pins

were around 2,3V, and some up, some down,

but they do not check ok with the values on the

schematic. Some of the MB3756 voltages are not

ok, as one can see on the schematic.

Any opinions on what might be causing this

no RX/TX problem?


Thanks in advance,


João G.
