pro 96 trouble

On the PC board next to the part there is usually a component designator in white ink.
If the thin' that you are describing is the thin' that I thin' you are thinking about then I thin' that there should be a designator like "L4" or "L14." Using that designator you can check the parts list and find out what the part is and buy a new one.
It looks to me like the red thing is the tuning slug in a tunable coil and even if you replace the coil, the radio will have to be adjusted with the new part to work right.
Since you don't seem to know about component designators, and don't recognize that the red thing in the square thing is a tuning slug for a coil, you'd probably be better off sending the radio back for repair.
Learning electronics is good. But this is not a very good way to start. (too complex)

How on earth did you do that? The shield should have been soldered securely to the board.

Its the one with the red dial that broke. I think it is the tuning thing. I turned it too much one whay nd it broke

That's a potentiometer.
If he's referring to the red circle with the cross with the silver box around it that is a coil not a pot.

yes that is what I am looking for where can I find one
As stated earlier, it's a part that needs tuned. The radio will need to be sent in for repair and alignment.
He was tuning it when he broke it.
Ought to order two of them. (just in case) Might get lucky and not break the next one and maybe luck into the right adjustment. Worst case would be to adjust it so that it overloads some other component in the radio.
The Pro-96 parts list that Radio Shack ought to be able to bring up the part number for T2 if they sell it. Maybe fmon's GRJ-F863 number is the RS part number.
Watch for this radio turning up on eBay shortly.....

Why did you turn it for ? Radio was working before you took it apart right?

Because It wasn't picking up the p25 system vary well comparied to same set up on another pro96.
So even if you get the repair part installed the radio wouldn't be working properly, right?
Maybe you should consider sending it in for repair. I fix a LOT stuff myself but sometimes I have to defer to the people who have the information and tools.

If I where to sell it how much would you pay for it. Also do you think it would be worth fixing.
Thanks,

that's a Manufacturer number. RS # is GE-87D-7290. Mat can likely get GRJ-F863 from Mouser.com

BTW, it's a detector transformer for 455KHz.
