Default Problems with Cobra 148GTL CB radio

Ok--I solved the problem with the radio!

Yes, it had been modified. Someone grounded pin 10 of the PPL chip and
fiddled with the VCO for above-band operation. I removed the jumper on
pin 10 and then used a frequency counter to realign the VCO. Also, the
output power was a bit high, so I adjusted the modulation circuit to
make it operate at the legal limits for AM and SSB.

Thanks for the advice. It was helpful.

You're welcome, My pleasure.

There's nothing like the sound of a good loud fart or belch on CB
channel 19 to get the conversations going especially when they're
broadcast over-modulated with echo and punctuated with a roger beep.
