I cant find a readable schematic is issue 1
Cant see on wattmeter at all but can see it on Spectrum Analyzer 20db attenuator Ref 0 to -100dbm keyed seeing -30 dbm and on frequency.
When i received the radio TP7 & 8 were disconnected after seeing no power out I noticed it.
Hooked TP7 & 8 back...
I know this is an old post but I just seen that GMRS can be enabled by replacing a chip when doing the MARS Mod. This was said to be available by Gigaparts and won’t void the warranty? Anyone know the chip?
SAA-2N was used once and I just upgraded firmware and the BK Precision is in A+ Condition and tested on my Fluke 5100B (Calibrated last year) I’m looking for $75 each shipped and insured. Would consider trade for BIRD 43 Type Wattmeter.
Thanks, Andrew
Unfortune
Unfortunately it’s the 4 R5 transistor's that I believe may be IRF520’s also? It was putting out 7 watts dead key and 23 watts modulated with the amp keying 2 wires disconnected. Something went wrong?
OK to make sure it wasn’t in the amplifier I totally removed and connected one of the coaxes from bottom side to main board. I just wanted to make sure the amp wasn’t in the chain at all. Still same results as I assumed but it does make it easier to move around now.
Variable RF Power control
CCW .2 watts
CW 1.4 watts
VR 2SB754Y tests good
I tested voltages on the following also
Q62 IFR520
RX. TX
G. 35mV. 4.3V
D. 6.26V. 6V
S. 0. 1.1mV
Q60 IFR520
RX. TX
G. 28mV. 3.5V
D. 6.26V...
