Hello, Believe it or not the rf is working now, i found the middle contact had a broken solder to ground. it measures perfectly now i was really happy about that lol. I think i found a bad transformer a15/L2 The antenna matching. it should read .1ohm but it measured shorted. the sams has the...
It stopped receiveing.... again. Easy come easy go, where it went to nobody knows. the rf gain and the squelch work so, all of them work except for the BFO knob, and switch. they probably work, but im not getting anything when the switch is on. i measured the 9.979mc crystal. it showed 16.972 on...
Lol, I took out the squelch fished the solder out. Now the squelch works! i heard my self through my house coming out of the Utica's spreaker from my browning in the other room. for the first time. all right! dyno mite!
Check this out i found a big chunk of solder inside the squelch pot. I tryed to heat it up and got some out. now its fallin down into the pot so im going to have to operate. lol i noticed a nice big blue spark thats how i found it..... dang, whats next? lol
I found the rf gain middle connector to ground. was a broken solder. Did not even have to take it out. now i get .6vdc in v1 at pin2 (.6vdc) and v5 pin 2 is 2.76vdc (3vdc) awesome. they were 40.vdc everywhere before lol but there still is no receive it may need to be checked/aligned again the...
the crystal is 9.976 mhz it should be 9.979 is that okay? the fine tune side of the crystal has the reading but no reading on the other side that goes to the v4 pin 1 idn thanks
Yippie i got it back dont know how but ill take it still has no rec. i am testing the oscillator 9.979 and 10.245. 8.36 8.5 i have a signal generator with a frequency counter attached. i can use that right?
Okay thanks Nomad. i will check that. my friend when i was hooking up the signal generator on the bottom side to try another alignment the negative touched something pop. and went off . now it has no ground to chassis. i cannot read anything using chassis for ground. i tested 2 red wires...
i found v1 pin 2, and v5 pin 2 have about 40vdc. It should be .6 vdc and 3 vdc. The rf gain is on this line. I can't figure out where the 40vdc voltage is coming from. any help would be very appreciated. Thanks
I get a nice loud tone when i set up to test a1 thru a8. The 266khz signal is connected to pin 4 of a5,a6 transformer The vtvm doesn't move much though. maybe the problem is between, the a5,a6 transformer, and the anntenna.
