    Courier Spartan 40 channel ssb with a channel dial mod???

    I have this spartan with some wierd mod that changes the rotary 40 channel dial switch to some sort of a 2 digit flip switch that reminds me of my old Samsonite brief case that I had with a combination lock. Im looking for as much info as I can get about this mod. Looks like it was a kit. The...

    Siltronix 1011D technical support needed

    Thanks Stuart, yeah its awefully difficult to tune but I can do it. Its just that norhing matches up at all. I tested the 8950. The tube tester says its 70%. I removed it though. Not going to transmit until I sort out the frequency issue. I think it got broadbanded somehow. There is not much to...

    Siltronix 1011D technical support needed

    I have the manual but its nothing like the sams service notes at all. No alignment instructions as to the tuning coil calibration. There is no indication as to how to align the cans, I see the crystals. I didnt scope them yet or put my frequency counter on their oscillators because I am able to...

    Siltronix 1011D technical support needed

    Hello gang. My old 1011D is being recapped and I have questions about the VFO. It appears like its been narrowbanded??? Is that a thing? Ive tried to open up the bandwidth to get my 40 channels but its f#$%ed. I receive channel 1 on 18 and 40 on 36. That is making it very difficult to tune in to...

    This is a long shot but did Sams ever put out a service magazine about the Siltronix 1011D?

    Siltronix 1011D, Is it possible to convert for AM transmit?

    Anyone have a PDF manual for this radio? Id like to get mine running. Ac service manual would help also. Mine has avtuning problem. Seems like all my CB and probably 28mhz freqs all appear tightly between the channel 19 and 21 on the VFO.

    Here is a previous schematic you put up for me. Notice the difference when you click on them and blow them up. Maybe your standard compression is modifiable?

    Most likely the compression ratio when you save the file. On the average, your files have been around 5 to 10 mb. These were all around 1 mb or lower. Highly compressed. Makes smaller file sizes but takes all the detail out when enlarging which is what we need to do to see close up oarts and...

    300dpi is ok. 600 is way better for enlarging images. When you scan are you saving them as JPG or directly to PDF? Check the compression ratio. It could be set too high. Every other PDF I've gotten from you is much larger in file size and blows up perfectly even on my phone. These are very low...

    Hey Dan, I was trying to look closely at the pics and schematics of this post you put up but the compression of the JPG to PDF is so high that ehen you blow up the images, its way too blury to see. Is there a chance that you can redo this to a lower compression and larger file size so that the...
