Better shot. Ive since cleanedvoffvthat blob of solder and flux. See the small square?

There appears to be some sort of diode with what looks like a SMD diode hooked to it. Its on the right side of this crystal. Image might not show it until you click on it. Its in series with a diode which looks like a varactor diode. Has a green band. Could be a broad band thing. I put a short...

I think it does. I removed one side and didnt notice any changes

I replaced it twice. It tests good on the bench. Early days into this project. I even swapped out the trimmer for a higher pf then went back to a new 20pf. They cant all be bad. There appears to be another cspbin parallel with the trimmer on the schematic.

Im wonderingnif thisvradiobwhich had uppers and lowers also got broadbanded? There is a disc cap soldered accross avcut run that has crappy solder work. Im gonna find out where it appears in the schematic.

Grasping at straws here. How about the channel switch? Could it be a cause ofvthe shift? Although when I did my data tests, the highs and lows appeared correct as per the truth table. Hmmmmmmm...........

Yeah. I saw it on the schematic. Is there a varactor inside of it? Looking at the schematic, I see where L13 hooks up to it. Im wondering why I get such avstrong dignal that is exactly 10k off. L13 has no cap inside from the schematic, and if all that is controlled by the 11.1125 crystal, im...

UHI007. What is that the part number of something? Edit: I see it on thecschematic. I'll have a look at the circuitry.

Yes. The voltage changes. Going by the sams im supposed to lock in at 5v but i remember mentionning that it woudnt lock into anything until around 3 volts. Im pretty sure its around the VCO area. I will have to see if there is a cap inside the can or pull one from another radio donor

Clarifier hard right

Slug resting on can.

Pardon the bad leds. Its 38L.

My bad. The TX and RX are both off by 10k. This leads me back to L13 and its associated circuitry. D36, lsb, 19, center is 3.21v, left is 1.19, right is 7.48. Anyhow, I figured out something here.. with L13 adjusted to receive maximum freq level, and Ct3 as High as I can getnit close to the...

Thats exactly why I removed the open clarifierbmod and put the radio back to factory. To isolate the rx and TX. I will take a few measurements. Give me a moment...

The anode is giving me .56 volts. The cathode is 3. 3 volts rx and tx is 3.7. I checked some components today and they are all good readings.

Oh. Ok. Wasn't sure. I will get those in the morning. You want them centered in rx and tx AM only?

Channel19 L13 frequency. I hear the clowns from 38L on 39L. AM, is also offset by 10 k.

Correction 3.37v

Im thinking that the outputs are all correct. The highs and lows all check out. Even the skips check out. Thats what makes mevthink that the chip is fine. Ibdid test the output of the chip on channel 19 and its 27.175. 20 skips as 19 would normally to 27.195! I heated up the crystal and I was...

Tlright now, it stands that I put the open clarifier back correct. Im taking an 8 volt source from the receiver at the point where the sams says it goes, a 3.3k resistor to ground was also installed, the original pot I replaced. Didnt change a thing. The transmit is working fine. The receive off...
