Cobra 142 gtl frequency adjustment

#400995

Post by war wagon »

Hi! I am working on a Cobra 142 gtl and the frequency is off on SSB and LSB and slightly off on AM what I am looking for is what are the adjustment points on the main circuit board that are used to adjust this so it is right on frequency? I did the same thing to my Cobra 2000 and found the info online but for some reason I can't find this info for the 142gtl if it helps this is a Taiwan made 142gtl. Thanks for any help. War Wagon

Search "PC-385 PCB" for the alignment instructions, it is basically the same as the Uniden Washington and others using that board.
