Cobra 139XLR Rx on freq, Tx 10kc off???

Post by Pepe Le Pew »

Not sure what's going on with this radio, but It receives great, but when I go to transmit it transmits one channel away. or 10kc away. Any help would be appreciated. Also I think a proper AM transmit alignment is in order, but I do not have the info that I need.

Ok... I changed the 7.8025 crystal to a 7.7975 and now it's transmitting on the correct frquency. But, it still wants to drift, but only about 2kc's above normal, and that only occurs after talking for about a half an hour. Any ideas????
