RF gain centered: Connector beside R233: R1 - 3.20 R2 - 1.42 G - 0 The leads on the RF gain control correspond also with these numbers.

I have the RF gain wide open clockwise.

I read on the Galaxy updates page that if a 2517 has low receive audio, then cut the red wire beside CN13 on the switchboard and route that wire to R90. They claim R90 is on the corner edge of the main board, but this R90 in this 2517 is next to the balanced modulator. They claim this issue...

The connector beside R233, R1, R2, G all three go to the RF gain control. R1 shows 3.64, R2 shows 0.01 G is ground.

R233 3.64v on rear lead. 8.72v on the front edge lead.

Q17 Emitter - 1.46v Collector - 8.29 Base - 2.2v Lead of the 1k resistor closest to the Q17 shows 1.46v.

I'll replace Q17 and try that. Thank you guys for jumping in.

I checked Q44 which is mentioned several times as being a known fault for this issue. It's more like just low volume, the receive seems like it's there and fine. Just have to turn volume almost wide open. Q44 shows nothing on all leads. IC8 leads show the right voltages. This transistor is...

I'm getting 8v on Q17 and the 1k resistor next to it, and I'm getting a constant 8v on the red wire next to cn13 on the switchboard. I plugged my external speaker into the PA jack and still have to crank volume almost wide open. This usually means the audio IC (8) is bad, but all the voltages...

By the way, what's the purpose of that blue cap just to the right of the black ground wire in picture 3? I've never seen that before in any other 2517.

Got a different Galaxy DX 2517 on the desk today showing the same symptom as the last 2517. Symptom: Low receive (sensitivity and volume) in all modes. Everything else works as it should. Transmit is around 50w PEP (SSB around 35w). I've already checked the usual, Switches Controls Wires Wire...

Well, i just diffused the green meter lights in my Saturn because there was a bright spot in the center of the meters and the light wasn't spreading uniform across the meter. 180 grit sandpaper. Sand down the tip of your LED bulb. Wipe off the shavings from sanding. Put bulb back in. World...

Well, he did get back with me just a few minutes ago with an update. He said it was his bad because for one he was drinking, two he was also smoking weed, and third he's old and couldn't see the writing for the knobs. He said he got up this morning, turned it back on and now there is no strange...

Hi all, Got a question for all those out here that work on other people's radio equipment (can't call them TECHS, the college degree holders may get offended): After you're done with a radio and it works perfect, then you get it to the owner only for them to experience strange noises or...

47 ohm surface mount resistor on bottom side of 7805?

This what you're referring to Nomad?

Mine is laid out just like the 210014C, the one that comes in the 11B. But even the 11B counter won't display in my Saturn. All I did was unplug my counter module and put it in another, I didn't yank any wires out of the connectors. On the 210014C modules I do have, I've recapped them, and...

That looks like the one that goes in a Saturn that has the horizontal frequency counter module mounted on the right side of the chassis. That one has only two connections. The one I need mounts vertically behind the frequency display. Mine has 4 connections, two small on one side and two large...

Yea, like the 99v comes with two different versions of EPT frequency counter modules that will work with it. The EPT210014B and EPT210014C frequency counter module board numbers are listed as being compatible with the 99v. I need the frequency counter board numbers that are compatible with the...

Got a question about these export radios with frequency counters, specifically the EPT style counters. Is there a list of which frequency counters work in which radios? Example: I had a friend's 2980 on the desk a year or so ago and the frequency display was blank. Well I took mine out of my...
