Here is an update on the LED channel selector for the Telstat 140.
When I was trying to fix this if I touched the pc board or twist the selector some of the digits would come back and work but then go back out.
Then 1 time on the pc board is 2 -1.8k resistor arrays 7per array.
Even touching...
Hi Night Stalker10
Yes the DDS are way over priced and if you want installed its another $150.00.
Look a 40up and 40down kit is all you need for extra channels after that no one is on those channels.
So now I have a good working ssb base but the channels display need replaced.
I hope someone...
Thanks Brandon yes I know I brought up the DDS modules.
This selector has no ribbon cable just 7 wires from the bottom pc board and run over to the chassis where there are 7 post the the nine wires are wire wrapped to.
This is one of the few radios where they used a wire wrap gun to make...
Looking for a Telsat ssb 140 radio for parts.
part im looking for is the channel selector with pcb boards attached.
I tried to fix mine 4 times and still segments out I will try 1 more time, so needing the channel selector.
If someone knows of the selector used in other radios please post...
Well I just read up on the DDS encoder module for price and install, way to much in price and way to much to install.
Price around $125.00 and i install
About 5 PDFS to read up on install and how to get it to work.
On a 148GTL about 50 parts to remove.
Crazy on not doing that.
Im looking for...
Hi Brandon.
They do have the DDS modules where u replace the complete channel selector
with an encoder and module Im sure you have seen them I will have to check on a price if I cant find a good used selector for the Telsat 140
Nomad yes there is 3 sections with 2 sections up and 1 section down.
I took the complete assembly apart 4 times and opened each section and cleaned the wafer and all the prongs I lightly filed each one prong just to clean the tips and looked under a scope to see if any tips were bad all looked...
Back at the second telsat ssb140.
Seems the channel display is bad meaning some segments are out and I replaced the LED and same results.
I re-flowed all the solder joints and its definitely the wafer selector switch.
If i push on the switch some segments do come back or play with the rotary...

thanks on the heads up of ct 4, I printed out the alignment page and adjusting ct-4 now has the radio spot on on Am LSB USB
thanks again for the help
So i did fix the first Telstat 140 power problem now I have a second one.
Transmits fine good audio and power both AM and ssb.
Problem is Am is dead on
USb is dead on
Lsb is not
If I transmit on AM say 27.4050 dont touch the clarifier and switch to LSB I get 27.4028 when i should get 274040...
So i installed the supply tonight about 30 minutes and all is good.
At peak power it drops about 1/10 of a volt pretty steady.
This supply is a 5 amp 12v which adjusted to 13.11 volts
Supply is a 12v @5amps and cost $7.00 shipped from amazon
I replaced the regulator 2sD525 Q3 and still same results
On to ordering the 2 zener ZD1 and Zd2 And Q1 and Q2
I checked the resistors and all seem within specs.
Something is draining about 2 volts and as I mentioned the transformer is also dropping about 2 volts AC when keying mic on AM and SSB
I replaced the 2 caps and still the same results. I will check the regulator again or replace and also the zener diode. Will also replace the D525 regulator
