    Uniden Washington no transmit

    Hello; I believe they are varistors, that change resistance as temperature changes to prevent damage to the driver and final,and i agree if your voltages are correct and driver and final are ok and radio has been in storage it's probably an electrolytic cap gone south. Regards warlock35po

    My swr changed for no apparent reason.

    Hello;Ah the eternal search for the mythical perfect match,oh to be young again,but seriously folks if you get an vswr of less than 2 two1 leave it alone it won't hurt your radio and no one will see a difference on there meter.You are free to disagree but it's true. Regards warlock35po

    MOSFET conversions for upD858 and MB8719 boards

    Question is,why would any one want to as long as original parts are available as mosfets in my very limited experience apear to be somewhat more sensitive to swr,also it still takes a 4 times power increase on A M to get 1 extra S unit on the other guys end. Regards warlock35po

    RCI 2950 Bias Problem

    They are varistor aren't they? ie a specialized resister designed to change resistance according to temperature.If i were him i would also check the specific VR pots involved,as they have a habit of shorting or opening and or becoming intermitent warlock35po

    dak mark 9

    Probably one of the first things to try is to do an alignment on the RX,it may just be due to age or maybe some wizard has gone in and twisted the wrong slug.The foregoing assumes you have tested the tubes,ie mixer,audio amp etc. Good luck Warlock35po
