Audioline 342 CB27/81 remote UK FM CB radio - Service alignment

This radio was kindly donated to this channel by a viewer. Thank you.

Being a 1981 Uniden manufactured radio, these now need to have the two 220uF & two 470uF capacitors changed in them. Upon investegation they had been recently changed on this set. managed to get 3.95W out of it; the manual says 3.7W so good result. The radio came in doing 3.2W.
I got receive down to around 0.35uV for 12dB SINAD. The biggest snag was insensitive squelch & I ended up re-aligning the I.F. twice to get the correct result - that could well be down to previous finger trouble though rather than any deficiency with the set.
