had a cobra 29LTDwx brought in that had no voltage on lock pin of PLL. (unlocked). Owner claimed he tuned radio last night and worked good. This am radio did not work.. Now only has small static. NO TX or RX. Suspected he unlocked by screwing around with VCO . CAN with wax showed it. Started to retune cans to get proper output on Scope and correct voltage but can tuning had no effect. Took heat gun to melt off great deal of wax around IC2 (TA7310-1) to get at test point better, and while hot radio started to RX. When cooled in 20 seconds, quit again. Looked for breaks, resoldered IC2 , no response. Got any answers? Thanks Jose22 |

Ref Crystal is dead on according to Frequency counter. I thought the heat affected it but when in cool state it shows correct frequency. |
