Do like I just did,Google it and your answer will be an affirmitive YES.

frequency drifting on last number really doesn't make much difference. Lets say you are on CH 1 26.965 and the counter says the frequency is 26.9648 . Its not right but it close enough that its not going to make a whole lot of difference .Signal meter not working is not a problem either . You have to check the schematic for what voltage operates the meter,check to make sure that voltage is there. If it is then you should change the meter., if no voltage then you should check for the solution as to how to get it back. When the radio warms up and you hear people talking take some freeze spray and give the audio IC a shot to see if it still works or not .

Astaic 36L. You never want to run a power Mike with a good radio with Mic Gain. Road King is great to. It is very hard to find the honey spot with a power Mike when you have Mike gain on radio.I think it is pretty hard to beat the 36L. I use one one my Connex 4600 Turbo and Galaxy 95T2, They both performe great. Connex is a little better a DX ing though

do a google search for it.

look under the radiator and you should see a petcot valve, wing nut . turn it till you see your old antifreeze coming out then once it stops tighten the nut and fill the radiator .

think cheap.first change the mic to see if that makes a difference. If it does you now have a new mic and a radio that works.Now it gets a little more expensive. you have to open the radio so the components show . Now ask yourself which one does what ? I know you can't answer it because if you could you wouldn't have posted this. I can tell you that its in your audio circuit . Now take it to a tech and have them fix it.

RF output power is 4 watts

buy some mr.freeze and spray some in the pll area to see if it drifts back on frequency. once you have determined that take it to a tech and let him know what you did and he will fix it.

Is the speaker the internal or external one ? disconnect the external speaker then take a multimeter on ohms with sound and touch the pos and neg contacts . you will hear a beep ,now look at the meter and read what ohm reading you have.check to make sure you are on band mode and not pa . If you hear nothing add an external speaker which will over ride the internal speaker and see if you still get nothing. Now that you have confirmed this you may want to take it to a tech and have them fix it. And I did a google search and found a service manual for this radio .

where did you get this radio? on ebay? this radio needs a lot of work by a tech not some golden screwdriver .
