Now that was a good suggestion, I just checked but parts are correct, they match service manual but I am guessing 1 or more is bad. Thanks! Adam

Hi Jeff, YES, please read my original post, I SPECIFICALLY mention that. Thanks, Adam

Hi, as mentioned I tried adjusting the trimmers but no help. Does anybody out theter know what else I can try, I am thinking possibly drivers or finals and hoping someone is familiar with this specific radio and can help. Thanks, Adam

Yes, if you read my post I specifically mention that I tried to adjust those exact trimmers but it did not help. Anyway, can anyone out there help please? Thank to all who respond. Adam

Hi all, I picked up a Northpoint CBS-1000 to play with and find AM output is about 1 watt ( no real audio swing) and SSB is like 8-10 watts. I tried to adjust RV4 and the AM coils (L38, L42 etc) but can't raise AM past that. On SSB I tried adjusting RV14 and no real improvement. Hopefully...

Hi, thanks for trying to help but that was not the problem. Thanks again, Adam

WOW, what can I say but THANKS, you have gone out of your way and I really appreciate it. Will see what I can do this weekend. Thanks again, Adam

Hi, I have a DMM, frequency counter, and signal generator but I am not a great technician so hoping someone knows the radio well and may know fairly specifically what to look for. Thanks, Adam

Hi all, I was given a good looking SBE Console V (SBE-40CB) AM/SSB base station. It turns on and all lights up, squelch control will make the meter move as it is supposed to when adjusted but I have NO output and NO receive and NO sound. When I key the mic I hear the relay click over to transmit...

Hi Andy, when I originally had this problem a while ago I had tried to adjust the bias (using the manual etc) but could not get the voltages up high enough according to the specs, they were too low. Does that tell you anything? Adam

Hi Andy, I should have said that, tested in USB with modulation to full output. Adam

Hi Andy, I should have said, I did it modulating in SSB at full output. Adam

Andy, I used my thermal gun and not sure if this helps: The IRF520 nearest to VR12 reads hotter, about 135 degrees. The IRF520 to the right of it nearer to VR10 reads 100 degrees. Q51 reads about 100 degrees Q52 reads about 90 degrees Readings done after a minute or 2 of continual transmit. Adam

OK Andy, thanks, Adam

Hi Andy, again, thanks. So aren't we dealing with a bad part somewhere because it was putting out more? Are you suggesting that adding the 330 ohm resistors now could potentially fix the problem? Should I simply replace the 2SC1906 and 2SC2314F? Thanks again for hanging in. Adam

Yes, thanks, that makes more sense. Andy, what are Q51 and Q52? Sorry again for my ignorance. Adam

Hi, thanks, what are the parts QS1 and QS2 that are circled in red? Thanks, Adam

Thank you Andy for time spent on the answer. I'll print this out and see if I can handle this with my meager skills. I hate to ask, do you know which are the driovers and pre-drivers are? (SORRY). Appreciate it. Adam

Thanks, no scope as mnetioned was hoping someone had a similar problem and knew what component(s) it may be. Thanks, Adam

Hi all, so a while ago I posted about low output on my DX-2547 and was not able to get too far so I retested the radio today and find that on AM my output is about 3 watts dead key and swings to 17 watts or so which is fine but on SSB I can only get up to about 10 watts with full modulation, I...
