with the print readable to you the base is pointing at you and the collector away.
side leads are emitter and tied together.
these parts must be tested out of circut.
desolder base and collector.
test a diode with your meter to get an idea how it responds to a part.now treat your 2290 as 2...
havnt forgot this.just been busy and a bit "under the weather".i will take pics of the inside too for the benefit of bushwacker and anyone else interested.
maybe there was a run of these that had this issue?
i have owned 3 of these and 1 was 2 months old when i got it.
its not a real big deal.sometimes you push and nothing happens or it doubles.
most of the time its fine.probably improper debouncing.
have a 100w unit in good condition 250.00 +shipping.
i have been using on 10m and nothing but good reports.
has stock mic,bracket and thumbscrews,power cable with powerpole installed.
has the touchy buttons issue that every one of these i have seen has.not bad but worth mentioning.
will take a few pics when i go out to the storage barn.
one of the old school cb'ers i know thinks its a firebird "phoenix".
at any rate it looks like a nice unit for boosting qrp rigs like my ft-817's.
just got a amp in a auction that has the styling of a firebird but a 10-80m bandswitch and runs a pair of 4cx250's.
looks like a nameplate used to be across the bottom of the face due to the glue residue there now.it isnt pretty but i dont see anything that will stop me from fixing it up...
just put in a panel mount power pole.
i have an ar-3500 i use on 10m and thats one improvement i will be making.connector gets hot on fm tx.
what were they smoking when they designed that?
fine for a low power cb but not a 100w rig.
