May of you may remember a few weeks ago me posting about having a Connex 4800 DXL on the desk.
It was sent to me because it was overheating and needed an alignment.
Well, after going over it, I noticed they had a swing mod strapped across the passthrough regulator (which in my opinion is a no no). I removed it and instead installed a simple swing mod at the carrier adjust VR. Looked good on the scope, spectrum and the passthrough wasn't running hot any longer.
After I got done with it, I talked on it for a day or so with no issues whatsoever, I even talked to him on it and he loved the sound of it.
The next day I got it back to him. That night he texted me and told me he took the covers off and removed my simple swing mod and instead installed his regulator based swing mod back in it.
Now he's complaining about it running hot and distorting after it gets hot. Same thing it was doing when it came to me but wasn't doing it when I carried it back to him, UNTIL HE STRESSED THAT REGULATOR OUT AGAIN.
He said it looks better on an oscope with that type of mod. I told him, sometimes it's not just about looking good on a scope, sometimes it's about stress, breakdown, current draw.
Why?
Why?
Why do we even waste our time.
