    Hmmm it is a Uniden Base just says President on it chkd Mic is ok no trans or receive but hooked up another radio and thru dummy load it has modulation when keyed no meter readings tho on trans or recive

    O....................K #1 It is a 8719 chip #2 got receive now thanks Found solder bad on ic mod chip No transmitt tho and no meter movement on receive or transmitt but on dummy load and extra radio can hear mod on extra rig on transmitt Possible finals? and what about no meter movement

  • Anonymous Apr 24, 2012

    No Radio has not been modified at all the cans are all still sealed and Receive is back but no Transmitt and is on reg channals receives great now but still no trans on am or sideband and no meter movement at all

    Hmmmm any idea where I can find the replacement final and driver? I beleve its a 1306 an 1307 Don,t think they stock those anymore

Have the mic checked first to make sure wired correctly and or wires not broken where connect to plug----also check to see if same on SSB and Am.

President what? Madison, Lincoln etc.

    will be on plate on rear which it is---not front.

    As old as it is first issue is this one or two problems--I would begin by checking the voltage regulator and other chips that are bolted to the sidewalls of the radio--it is not uncommon for the folded over pins to break loose and just need soldering.(audio chip if it has it--should be there can cause this.)

    Then quickly with unit off and not powered test the driver and final to see if open or shorted---There are a few other possible reasons---some of the real old ones use a UPC1148 or a number like that for the audio output---no sound will equal no audio at speaker but if it modulates that is likely good--follow the suggestions and let me know what happens.

    By the way--what PLL chip is used? 858?

  • Anonymous Apr 24, 2012

    has the mb8719 been "altered" ? what you could have is it is not when showing 19 etc there but somewhere else----like way up or down and actually on another freq.

    If not modified final will not kill receive---keep looking--find one bad connection you may find more---if it has been modified for extra channels there will be leads soldered to pins on that PLL---inspect them to make sure not broken loose etc.

  • Anonymous Apr 24, 2012

    check driver and final (they are base-collector-emmiter) and should have dc when keyed on middle pin---ohm them (may have to unsolder all leads) to be sure not open or shorted----you know how?

    If one is open or shorted replace both---radio has a AM reg transmit transistor but ssb would still function and transmit even with that bad---not a bad idea with no power to read from center pin on either driver or final to the board ground--cans etc---no short there can exist---metal frame of radio is a different ground.

  • Anonymous Apr 25, 2012

    there are replacements but not as high a output--call for example Suburban Electronics with the generic numbers on the two and they will have replacements--can also google the generic to see which replace them--think one is 2sc2166 ---number on original will be 2sc1307?

SOURCE: No Modulation!!

Hi,

Most modulation problem could be traced to:
1. mic or the cable and/or the mic connector;
2. AMC (amplitude modulation control) - it's a single transistor that regulates modulation and occasionally has been known to clamped on the mic audio;
3. the AM/SSB switch - spraying with contact cleaner is a temporary remedy; and/or
4. audio amp - however if your receive audio is good, then this does not apply.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Without a model number, I can't be more specific as to component(s) or PCB location but pls post back for any developments (or lack thereof) or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kindest regards.

SOURCE: No AM carrier or modulation. SSB transmits good

Great now check TR42 AM POWER then check TR41 AM POWER REG. They are on right side twards rear of board with front of radio faceing you part side up. A good place to start!

SOURCE: president mckinly ssb/am model with mb8719 pll chip.

It looks like you had some loose connections in that CB. you may want to also check for other cold solder joints throughout the units and touch them up with some solder. Might I suggest you use a desoldering tool and then just add new solder to the connection.

SOURCE: uniden president grant stops transmitting

this sounds like the AM regulator has lost All of its smoke.(thats what electronic parts are made of) If this is A Grant the AM regulator is located in the rear right hand side of the radio.If it is a grant XL this is located on the very back of the radio on its on little circuit board.check this part part to see if is your problem.one other way that you can tell if this is the problem when it stop transmitting check it on side band (LSB or USB) to see if it transmitt.If it does that is most likley your problem.

SOURCE: uniden grant ssb cb, receives but no transmit,

test your voltage regulator and make sure you don't have a bad crystal

Why no modulation in transmit mode?

Without seeing it I would guess (and it's only a guess) that maybe you have a broken microphone wire. If it's a factory mic the most common place for it to break is right up from the mic plug. Factory cords are not flexible, their really stiff. We could really use some more information. Mike

My radio will not transmitt but it receives just fine

Most problems with radios that receive but do not transmit are antenna or antenna wire/connector issues. It's easy to receive with a marginal antenna but transmitting requires a good working antenna. If you have a SWR meter or can get your hands on one, install it in line with the antenna and test for reflected power. Of course, make sure your TX light comes on when you depress the mic switch. If not, switch mic and try again.
Hope this is helpful! Reply if u can.

Receive is ok, but when I transmit on SSB the Freq. jumps 10KC. What adjustments can I do to get the transmit back on Freq. without effecting the Receive?

go to you tube and type in your radio make and model and watch the review on that radio there is a freq adjustment pod for ssb adjustment. they might tell you if not take it to a radio tech and he should be able to alighn it. there is more than one pod for ssb transmitt and receive.

Symptom:Buzzing or motorboating sound in either the transmit or receive.

Cure: Replace C602 with a .01uF cap {Cap is located in the power supply board}.
RG 66,99,DX2517 Replace Q54 2SB754 60watt 7A with a higher power 2SB817 100 Watt 12A. Derating of this component will cool operation, provide better voltage stability,decrease wobble, allow voltage increase to 14.5 volts comfortably. (replace 10 volt caps in this section of the radio to a minimum of 16 volts before increasing supply voltage to this level)and provide faster swing rise time, Replace Q37 2SA473 to a 2SA1012-0 or ECG153 this will improve the clarity and volume of the modulation and it will also run a lot cooler.
