frequency drifting on last number really doesn't make much difference. Lets say you are on CH 1 26.965 and the counter says the frequency is 26.9648 . Its not right but it close enough that its not going to make a whole lot of difference .Signal meter not working is not a problem either . You have to check the schematic for what voltage operates the meter,check to make sure that voltage is there. If it is then you should change the meter., if no voltage then you should check for the solution as to how to get it back. When the radio warms up and you hear people talking take some freeze spray and give the audio IC a shot to see if it still works or not .

this is fixya,not the want ads,please remove this post

take it to a tech , if you have to ask then you are not able to work on it . It is definatly an internal problem.

I gotta get me a ranger radio with the windshield washer pump.

Astaic 36L. You never want to run a power Mike with a good radio with Mic Gain. Road King is great to. It is very hard to find the honey spot with a power Mike when you have Mike gain on radio.I think it is pretty hard to beat the 36L. I use one one my Connex 4600 Turbo and Galaxy 95T2, They both performe great. Connex is a little better a DX ing though

do a google search for it.

look under the radiator and you should see a petcot valve, wing nut . turn it till you see your old antifreeze coming out then once it stops tighten the nut and fill the radiator .

think cheap.first change the mic to see if that makes a difference. If it does you now have a new mic and a radio that works.Now it gets a little more expensive. you have to open the radio so the components show . Now ask yourself which one does what ? I know you can't answer it because if you could you wouldn't have posted this. I can tell you that its in your audio circuit . Now take it to a tech and have them fix it.

RF output power is 4 watts

buy some mr.freeze and spray some in the pll area to see if it drifts back on frequency. once you have determined that take it to a tech and let him know what you did and he will fix it.

Is the speaker the internal or external one ? disconnect the external speaker then take a multimeter on ohms with sound and touch the pos and neg contacts . you will hear a beep ,now look at the meter and read what ohm reading you have.check to make sure you are on band mode and not pa . If you hear nothing add an external speaker which will over ride the internal speaker and see if you still get nothing. Now that you have confirmed this you may want to take it to a tech and have them fix it. And I did a google search and found a service manual for this radio .

where did you get this radio? on ebay? this radio needs a lot of work by a tech not some golden screwdriver .

First , is this radio new or used ? If it is new I see no dial for talk back and if it is used then was talk back added to it ? Open the radio so you can check out trace side of the radio and look to where the speaker jacks plug in. If you see a resister soldered across them then disconnect it and your talk back is gone,unless you still want it then solder a 220 ohm resister in place of the one you removed. if the radio is out of the box new then it should be adjustable but as I look at the face I see no knob marked as talk back.If you ordered this radio and asked for talk back on a seperate switch then which one ? look at it and make the call as to which wires to cut and do it .

you cut the wires trim off some plastic and attach a spst switch on both wires.

its kind of late now but if it were my radio I would have a tech repair it and double check out any other problems the radio might have while he has it apart.

all you people that have no right to use ham radios should get your license so you don't have to ask dum ash questions like this.
