i bought the radio from a guy who told me that the radio only puts out a few watts, even on sideband. so he claims the final and driver both are ok. just that the radio puts out low power. was this radio a piece of junk in this respect, or is there something like a blown resistor, transistor or something else i should check out? any help would be appreciated. also anyone got or had a 132xlr with the same problem and had it fixed? thanks... |

sitm, These two radios are altogether different, you have to take into mind what condition the transmitting circuit is in, no 2 radios will tune out the same. if running an amp. keep the AM to about 3 watts, with a little luck sideband should max between 18-25 watts running stock transistors,if no other mods have been done to the final transmitting circuit. I have A TRC-449 in the car which is one in the same radio as the 138XLR that tuned to 22 watts on my PDC-700 meter on sideband. Yankee |
