    RCI 2950, zero VCO voltage

    Well that regulator is functional, providing 5v to the CPU board.

    RCI 2950, zero VCO voltage

    Excellent, thank you for your help here. Just trying to gather as much info as I can. And it has the older board, EPT295013z

    RCI 2950, zero VCO voltage

    Where is this 5v regulator that controls this?

    RCI 2950, zero VCO voltage

    Thank you! I will check later on, the radio is in good shape, not all hacked up at all, was working then just quit. It does transmit/receive, but on 20mhz or somewhere around there.

    RCI 2950, zero VCO voltage

    I will check when I get home, exactly where would I check for the 5v off the main board to the CPU?

    RCI 2950, zero VCO voltage

    I'm not convinced that this is the problem, if no voltage is getting to the area, there will be nothing to adjust.

    RCI 2950, zero VCO voltage

    Thank you, I tried this already and no fix. I wonder if L17 is bad because it does not change voltage at all.

    RCI 2950, zero VCO voltage

    If I knew where the voltage is supposed to come from at J13 I could trace it back.

    RCI 2950, zero VCO voltage

    Well I swapped CPU boards with a known good one and same problem. Also to note, I do have and can adjust the voltage at ic7 pin3, which should be 1.2v.

    RCI 2950, zero VCO voltage

    This model does not have a battery on the CPU board. However I do have a spare working CPU board that I can try. Interesting though all functions work and even transmits power... Just obviously not on said frequency. Worth a shot though.

    RCI 2950, zero VCO voltage

    Working on an older 2950, orange face. Radio turns on, transmits, hears static. However there is exactly, . 277v at J13, L17 does not move the voltage at all, therefore the 10.250mhz reference oscillator is not working. All voltage regulators seem to be working, I've checked for cold solder...

    Siltronix 1011B

    Very nice, working condition Siltronix 1011B. 70's 10m tube rig. Has not been converted for 11m transmit. Full power 100w output, comes with stock hand mic and operating manual. Radio is in very nice shape with only a few scratches on the face. $150 shipped lower 48

    Sadelta ME-3 echo power mics

    I have three of these Sadelta ME-3 echo hand mics, all in great working condition. They don't come up too often so here is your chance for a classic echo mic. $50 each shipped lower 48

    I had already sent you a message thru here...do you have an email address? I don't log in here too often
