Hey folks, I have a TRC-449 with weak AM receive and very little meter deflection unless there is a strong signal nearby. Transmits normal AM carrier and modulation but no SSB output shown on the external meter. I can hear AM and SSB output from the radio on a nearby CB. Wondering if I have two separate problems or something common to both symptoms.
Unless I missed something, all power supply voltages are correct. The radio had these problems when I got it off eBay. Recapped it, other than the .01mf and .1PF caps which I have not been able to find. I put a new relay in it just to test and that wasn't it. All voltages on IC4 check out but I didn't try swapping it.
Any ideas on what I should take a closer look at?
Thanks in advance.
