I went to the De Anza College Hamfest in Cupertino CA this morning, and SCORED a Philippine-made Grant XL for $10!
After jumping one of the choke coils in the 'power in' circuit (from the power plug to the main board) and cutting D55 (actually - it was already cracked. 1N4003 is used to replace it?), I got the thing to light up. It works very well on AM and SSB - both on RX and TX.
But what I need is a link to give this thing a proper tune-up. I know some of the VR adjustments are the same as a Cobra 148GTL; but I need to get the info on tuning up the receive, the reference oscillator, etc, etc.....
Anyone know of a decent link or know where this info may be found?
Thanks in advance!
