Does anyone know if there is a Schematic available for this, or what other radio with a schematic has the same board?
Thanks

No schemo from me but got me wondering what you're up to
Are you Frankensteining again?
Muhahaha.....No schemo from me but got me wondering what you're up to

Nothing major. The x9 is making a guest appearance in the shack, I got tired of looking at the Ares 2 with the RFX that pinches the carrier. I was thinking that it would be nice to have a 10Khz switch, and a clarifier that can go to the zeros. If it has an L8 on the input of a double transistor, I would detune it a little bit to clean up the receive sizzle.
You may give ole Chris Holland an email about it, He was very helpful with a longhorn n6 repair I did.
A schematic and parts-placement diagram are the basic two tools to troubleshoot any fault that won't create a visible scorch mark.
Somebody must think it's more worth his while to suppress that info than it is to release it.
Not sure what else you would blame. And if I knew what filing cabinet it's hiding in, the temptation is to hire someone to break in one night and burgle it.

Surface mount radios are intended to be a disposable commodity, here in the US at least. If you can repair it the manufacture feels like they are losing a sale. Seems like it would be a good opportunity for the engineers at Howard w Sams if there were still technicians willing to pay for the technical data.
Just wait, it gets better. Soon, the components will be a part of the board rather than placed on the board and places like mouser and digikey won't make enough money keeping the hands-on parts on hand for the hobbyist.
Wow, just think. It was a miracle that they were able to get vacuum tubes to work. And a rock can vibrate at a specific frequency.
We have come so far in the last 100 years, what will the next 100 years bring? I don't think we would recognize it, just like people from 100 years ago would not recognize what we have today.
