TS-520

Pretty sure there are three 10-meter crystals. One for each segment of the band.

One of those three will be easier to access than the others. It's a bit clumsy to get the old crystal unsoldered. You'll typically need to use desoldering braid. Getting the new crystal in its place is only a little less clumsy.

Manuals for the TS520S and SE can be downloaded from www.mods.dk

Wil o need oscillioscope to line back up or just manual thanks for information
 
Good chance it will work just fine by changing the crystal alone. If you're just determined to 'peak' the 10-meter adjustments to favor 11 meters, the service manual has the alignment instructions, and lists the equipment they think you need for the job.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
