Since 2020 I see

Ahhh ok. Goodcto see younin here. How long have you been a member?

Thanks once again Dan! Hey is Raven on here too?

Great info! The clarifier mod iscthe only mod I would do on any radio. Only because so many people are off frequency, it gives me a baseline.

Awesome. I'll go have a look! Thanks!

Same here!

Not my first rodeo but thanks for your concern. Yeah. Ebay is where it came from seems like most non working radios come from fleabay and are described as working. Once you receive them, they dont work. Seller then blames the shipper. I have over 300 radios here a lot came from ebay but the...

Coolness! Where can I see it?

Yeah. There sre also 2 boards. 1 plugs into the other. Do I need to make a jig to work on it on the bench. Sux.

Oh. I forgot to mention that I used a proper soldering iron and I've done many radios before so its probably something simple yet hard to locate

Cant wait!

I think its the 3rd smd down from the mosfet. There are a few components in the output chain that could have caused it.

No schematic but I think that these were badged under multiple names. The tuning can slugs are painted in place and removing them is a real chore. The threads often strip when trying to soften the paint. I triedcto slign the output and wound up with the sliding slug issue i fixed that with a...

My superbase is dead. Nothing but static, no tx, no rx. I havent started on itbyet but did do some research over at grumpy's. I readcthat the superbase was notorious for leaking caps and the goo eating runs on the board. I did notice a crystal with 3 leads. Never seen one before. Does anyone...

When I got this radio, it was receiving fine but had an intermittent transmit problem. When I decided to reflow the board, I lost everything. Now I hear a faint and untunable USB channel on all 40 which tells me ive screwed up my vco or pll. I have another 555 that has no receive, transmits...

UPDATE: I spent a few hours going through the transmitter alignment prcedures. Made some headway. On my bench meter which is a CPI, I get about 2.5 wats dk, and now near 6 watts mod on AM, and the same on SSB. Cant figure out after the recap and even changing tubes why I just cant get at least...

I have 3 or 4 of these. Both versions. None of mine have bad didplays......yet

This is true. Ive seen a few mods out there. Beep removal, clarifier unlock. If i could just figure out why its smoking the 10 ohm...

Anyone ever come across a schematic for the 980ssb? I have one that keeps blowing the smoke out of a 10 ohm smd resistor and the final works great. Took a finsl from a known working 980 and replaced it justbto be sure. The radio still blew smoke from the 10 ohm. Put the questionable final back...

I was able to get most of the radio transmitter working but still have some issues with the transmit. Im getting a 2w carrier on AM and 4W peak. Pretty sure that I should have a better carrier on AM than 2 watts. On SSB, I get 2 watts full whistle on both USB and LSB. The7558 is new and works...
