otherwise I get no modulation at all. The RF meter still isn't moving in
either case. The PA function seems to operate ok, as does all other
functions.
I don't have a schematic for this thing - and was wondering if anyone
had a
copy of it they could scan or whatever. The set doesn't "appear" to have
been modified other than the D8 ("possibly" cut).
OH and the finals are good.
Any ideas anyone can lend on the cure of this, would be good too. Never
seen this issue before. I HATE not having a schematic. That is the
biggest
pain in the ass I can think of in this field.
TIA and MERRY CHRISTMAS

Please wait until January 1st before making repairs on this radio.
That way, you'll certainly be a top contender for the "2008 Golden
Screwdriver" award... lol

DUDE - GO **** YOURSELF.

It just happens, "I" DO NOT do "mods" and had to familiarize myself with
one which was in it. Once I found that info on line - plus the schematic,
I got the thing fixed - in about 5 minutes actually. And someone did have
their fingers in there - their so-called mods were ****ed up at best.

At least "I" am not spamming the group with bull**** almost daily like
you've been known to do.

PLONK!
Hello Radiosfun:

Thats just Brian being himself, pity to have unfriendly stuff posted on
Christmas Day. You got the right idea to plonk him out.

Its amazing why he would target such unfriendly attitude towards the very
people who he wants to sell to?!?!?!?!?

Have a Happy and safe New Year.

Ass holes like that are a dime a dozen. He doesn't bother me. I had a radio
with an issue - and "no" schematic. I hate wasting time on stuff without
one. Further - I'm not into "mods" - therefore I am not up on all those
tricks/circuits used. Even further - the issues with the radio were due to a
"screwed" up attempt to modify it. So the golden fingers/screwdriver wasn't
mine. I had gotten away from CB for a long while - into other areas - so I'm
also reacquainting my mind with them. When I was "really" into CB repairs -
Mods weren't quite the thing - yet. Around here - CB has almost died. Aside
from the truckers on the interstate a few miles away and those at the local
plant - the locals are few and far in between as opposed to years ago. The
radio is virtually DEAD - here.

You're right, his business approach "sucks". I wouldn't buy that garbage if
I was given a buy one - get one free.
