I have a President Dwight D with the AWI (antenna warning indicator) light. The problem is my SWR meter shows 1.7 on channel 1 and 2.4 on channel 40 on a vertical 4 element beam antenna. The AWI light is coming on now and never had the light come on before also have tried 3 SWR meters and they all a...

Has no one owned or heard of the CB I have listed and since I can't seem to find any info on it would that make it rare. Any info would be great, thanks.

The PLL came in early just finished installing it and as of right now everything seems to be working ok. What a headache this problem has been if it wasn't for this site and the help I received, I would of had to probably take it to a CB Shop for repair and fork out a lot more money then I had to. S...

I just recently got a Citizen 40 channel base model BLPL-600. I have looked on google and Yahoo but no luck in finding any information on a Citizen Base. If anyone has heard of or has owned one please drop some info on this as I am interested in knowing more about it.

I happened to find a NOS MB8719 that I bought to try should be picking it up in about 2 days will let you know how it goes.

Does anyone have any more thoughts as to what the problem could be. As of right now I am looking to buy another PLL and try that, just seems weird when I tried the crystal in another radio had same problem. Any help would be much appreciated.

Just wondering if one of the crystals could be bad because I was messing around with a realistic TRC-490 it has the same board as the Uniden Washington. The TRC-490 however was missing the 11.1125Mhz crystal so I put the one out of the Washington in the Navaho. The results were the same as the probl...

Rick, could not PM kept coming up an error however the yahoo messenger does seem to work, but you are not logged into it right now. I might be interested in the PLL.

Do they not make the MB8719 anymore? Is RCI8719 just as good as the MB8719? Can it be modded the same way as the MB8719 for channels etc.? Any suggestions on where to get one and about how much they go for? In your opinion which is better the MB8719 or RCI8719 because I might be able to get a hold o...

Alright, first I went ahead and checked PLL pins 10-16 while on channel 1 here is what I got - 13-16 are high and 10-12 are low just as you stated it should be. So I seen no point in going any further with your steps since pin 11 is already low unless you think I should continue with the steps you l...

Still have the problem as mentioned before, I noticed that I forgot to mention it on last post. Anybody have any info to share, I would appreciate it Thanks

Thanks so far for the help Scott, I did everything you mentioned: 1. re-soldered the wires on the channel selector 2. re-soldered the wires in front of the PLL pins 3. re-soldered the pins of the PLL 4. checked for bridged solder connections between each wire and PLL pin. While checking for a bridge...

Thanks for the fast reply, how would I go about checking the problems you listed.

I have a Uniden Washington with a PC-385 board and a MB8719 PLL. I was told it had a swing kit installed when I got it, other than that no other mods have been done that I know of. The radio did work fine with no problems, then one day I turned it on and couldn't hear no one on channels 1-14. With f...
