    Nice job on that encoder fault .Changing the capacitors is definitely recommended. You get a lot of noise generated within that PLL board which affects the receiver. It's just a pain to do as for some strange reason UNIDEN didn't print the capacitor locations on the PCB. But it's well worth doing.

    • @MicroChipz
      @MicroChipz 2 дні тому

      Chipswitch is a custom programmed processor on the pll board , and gives more functionality , freqs , even 10m repeater offsets "i think". Its is quite sought after.

    • @ElliottSpencer-hn9qg
      @ElliottSpencer-hn9qg День тому

      It was an option to make the radio go from 24 to 30 mhz, i think it also had repeater shift for the repeaters on the 29mhz ham band. Rare as a honest politician.

  • @ElliottSpencer-hn9qg
    @ElliottSpencer-hn9qg 2 дні тому

    I love the Lincoln radio's. I am on my third one!!. Another problem i found with the rotary channel change is that there are 2 low value electrolytic capacitors on the up/down voltage lines going from the channel switch to the cpu. They are either side of the channel change socket on the cpu board, i have found they can go leaky and cause the "skippy" channel change. Hope this information is useful.

    Tried my best following this guide and few others only to end up with an even worse left click. I wonder where I went wrong, I got omron switches and now instead of a double click, it doesn't work at all on input and from time to time holds down left click from just touching the microswitch until I manage to wiggle it back to not working anymore.

    Hi there. Git my president washington last week I didn't receive the frequency chart with mine trying to find a .pdf download of it any ideas? Had 11m etc put on mine and fitted 2 fans, a lit of kit to take in just wish I can find the chart would help no end I'm new to the ssb etc I'm an old AM FM 80's CB'er Great rig such a different world to my harrier cbx with extra block on it a bit of vintage but this president 👏 I'm smiling. I have same antenna but is red one on magmount. You run a boot too or straight 80watt out the back to get Brazil. If no boot wow you done well. I'm going up a hill to DX lol. Do you use auto tuner when mobile gor swr across the bands I find mine goes high.... what do you use... BD39/ Silverrod / 73's my friend

    Thats what cb radios do on the rx rf input a pair of back to back diodes ,for this case it depends on the gens max ouput level so maybe zenners instead its just the extra capacitance that might be a issue but at 50ohm dont think it would be

  • @darrenmurphy6251
    @darrenmurphy6251 10 днів тому

    Some back to back diodes or zenners would be a good idea across the chip output just before the coupling cap, just got a hp8657a and paranoid of breaking it so any comments on output protection very welcome, any probs with the diode or zenner idea? The diode capacitance shouldn't be a problem at 50 ohm, same as long coax iam thinking?
