mirage 88: i blew the finals in it.i bought the EKL upgrade kit for it( [Please login or register to view this link] ).i put everything in it according to the instructions except it said to remove a resistor at R285.but i couldnt find an R285 on the board.only thing close was an R255 or a C185.so after talking to a couple people we came to the conclusion the maybe it was a misprint and it was supposed to be the R255.
well i got no recieve,no transmit,no volume control,no talkback.it just make a loud static sound.the channels change as does the frequency counter.what did i screw up?and can it be fixed by me or do i have to send it out?and who to send it to?and rough estimate on repair cost?it belongs to a friend of mine and i said i would fix it since i killed it.
GALAXY 959.i have no idea what happened to it.i put an echo board in it.it worked perfect in the shop for 2 weeks.i took it out to use in the truck and the speaker started squeeling when i plug the power cord in with the radio turned off.everything is working on it includeing the echo board and the onboard linear(stinger board).but i have no volume control.it transmits,i can hear myself on the trucks radio when i key it up in the shop.its reciveing as the meter is showing the sgnals from the locals.but i cant hear anything.any ideas on what in the world happened to it?
COBRA 29 PLUS:this radio was given to my friend.it has no recieve or transmit,3/4 of the channel display is dead.to me it looks like a throw away radio but he wants to see if it can be fixed for some stupid reason.
thanx for any help you guys can give me.
