Re: UNIDEN WASHINGTON, no sound(tx,rx,pa)
i might add... i Replace 11.1125 crystal with a 11.3258 crystal. and the radio wont do anything...does this mean that the crystal is bad??
the radio had a 11.1125xtal in it when i got it.... technically... it should have been changed in order for the channels to work...am i wrong???

Re: UNIDEN WASHINGTON, no sound(tx,rx,pa)
i will try my best to remove the clarifier mod... i will need to see another radio to figure out where they go...unless you can tell me where the 2 outside wires on the pot go to.

Re: UNIDEN WASHINGTON, no sound(tx,rx,pa)
Now check the freq TP10 and see if it is stable when you are injecting each of the following 1V, 3V, 6V. it does not drift with the fixed voltages OK, in that case check for a stable 10.240MHz on pin 7 and pin 8 of the PLL, if it is unstable replace C64, C65, C66, C67 and re-check. If that still fa...

Re: UNIDEN WASHINGTON, no sound(tx,rx,pa)
You will have to use tantalums, as they are critical parts, they form a special filter circuit to smooth out the pulses and steps which are generated by the PLL to control the VCO, using electrolytic caps probably won't work. You may also want to check C72, that is supposed to be a tantalum as well...

there is a 20k trimmer and resistor added on the board...looks like some sort of clarifier mod, the red wire you see goes to the clarifier pot http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u287/frogman296/radio%20mod%20pics/060.jpg http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u287/frogman296/radio%20mod%20pics/061.jpg h...

Re: UNIDEN WASHINGTON, no sound(tx,rx,pa)
the audio amp i replaced the original came out of a used/parts radio, for what its worth The odd voltage on the audio amp may mean the used one you put in could be faulty as well, if you have a new one try putting that in and re-checking the voltages, if they are about the same and it still has no ...

Re: UNIDEN WASHINGTON, no sound(tx,rx,pa)
I am a little confused, it is 20KHz off frequency ? if the loop is running in the 40-50MHz range then something is not right if you are getting the TX being only 20KHz off. yes is is 20khz off on the tx Is the loop freq the same (or very close) on TX/RX ? the readins creep from 33.xxx to 37.44x(am)...

Re: UNIDEN WASHINGTON, no sound(tx,rx,pa)
the loop osc freq are high... in the 40 - 50.0000 mhz range
the offset osc freqs are pretty much spot on

Re: UNIDEN WASHINGTON, no sound(tx,rx,pa)
There is usually (but not always) a variable VR on the power supply PCB. I think I had some notes here for adjusting the voltage when the VR is not present, I will have to have a look. What is the PCB number on the power supply board, there are different versions. PC-570AB TR34, 35... are these the...

Re: UNIDEN WASHINGTON, no sound(tx,rx,pa)
I kind of forgot about this one.. Have you tried doing an alignment on it, and did you notice anything that seems incorrect during the alignment ? no not yet It is likely to just be a capacitor (or a bunch of them) somewhere that are killing the DC supplies to certain parts of the circuit, the volt...
