Another 139XLR power supply problem.

There is an alternative, but I would need two things.... The distance between the screw holes and someone to hold my beer,
 
Like I mentioned a few postings ago. Someone years ago before me has been in this power supply. On TR302 the collector pad has been lifted. The other two pads are not too long for this world.

If you have a syringe of UV mask (about $9 on ebay) and a UV laser (about $4 on ebay), you can put a little mask under the lifted pad with a toothpick, push it down, and shine the laser through the other side of the board. Enough light should get through the PCB to cure the high-temp mask and adhere the pad the board.

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare
    May 15, 2024 @ 14:55 UTC
    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
