Hello "klumze", I still work on CB radios on occasion and also have a degree
in electronics which helps. However, I live in Oklahoma if you don't mind
shipping the equipment to me to fix. I have all the sams books and many
other related publications to CB radio as well as test equipment. I've
worked on CBs for years and should be able to correct the problems with your
radio.

I just inherited a Uniden? President Grant CB with SSB from my father who
just died.
I have tried a "Google" search for a owner's manual and have come up
empty.

My main problem is that the radio powers up OK but the meter, meter
light's,
and channel read-out all do not work.
When it is installed in my truck all I hear is static, same in SSB Hi and
Low, almost normal for where I live, North Central Wisconsin, near Eagle
River.

So anyway does anyone know of a GOOD, HONEST repair shop in maybe Wausau,
Green Bay or even Milwaukee.
Or for that matter anywhere in the US?
Any one know where I could find a manual? I did check the Uniden web site
but found nothing there either.

Or does anyone know what could be wrong with the meter, lights and etc?
My step mother said it worked a month ago just before my dad died, but she
knows nothing about it.
There are 2 small switches on the side both soldered to same "MB 8719"?
chip.
I know one is for extra SSB channels but I have no clue as to what the
other
one does.
One switch was broken it was a SPST/Center off, I did not install the
correct switch
when I fixed it I put in a normal on/off switch.
Could this have anything to do with the meter/lights not working?

Thanks for the help
