Dave exactly tap on it with a screwdriver it works. I made a contact doing that I had the top off so when stopped receiving I could tap it and continue.

Forgot to mention....? I replaced R4 and R5 with higher wattage resistors. The original resistors got very hot and I didn't like that. The replacement resistors get barely warm to the touch. Might

I seen another person on here had a similar problem and he tapped it and it worked. I have tired tapping the relay and it will reset. when that doesn't work I key the mic or the key and turn radio off

Hi, Are you using one of the Chinese low pass filter kits ?? I have my linear built and working but haven't had time to sort out low pass filters yet. I was undecided whether to build filters or buy

That reminds me, many years ago Hoppe's (gun cleaning solvent) made a promotional air freshener in the shape of their bottle like the little trees you hang from your rear view mirror.? One whiff of

And the smell... This may sound silly, but one whiff of an ARC-5 chassis, and I'm 15 years old again. Just for a moment. - Jerry KF6VB

I have had three of them fail. Also have had the control circuit fail to switch because of RF on the control line. So depending you should either replace the relay. If it is sticking you can sometimes

And the caps would likely have been pyranol-paper, not electrolytic. Gerry Sent by the Thunderbird

You're right, any big caps would have been in the power supply for it. And big electrolytics are the ones I'd be most afraid of. The small ones might fail, but they did build those Arc-5's to take a

I bet you power it up and it just works. No electrolytics. - Jerry KF6VB

Still have my 40m ARC-5 transmitter, sitting on a shelf down in the basement. Hasn't been powered up in 45 years. Should probably replace all the caps first if I were to try it now. Either that or set

When I got my license in 1970, the Age of ARC-5's was already winding down. But I got my share. I built a 400W linear in an ARC5 transmitter cabinet. Crammed 4 6LQ6's in there. Bolted a muffin fan to

I (barely) remember when I was young and you could go to a hamfest and find a bazillion ARC-5 for sale for next to nothing. Now the roller inductor alone costs 10x what you paid for the entire ARC-5

I sold mine a long time ago...never should have done that.? I picked up a Hygain GT-550 about 10 years ago, but it wasn't the same. It was in great shape and worked well, but I think my enjoyment of

Aror, Loris, and Evan, To build the Easy Bitx firmware, you will need Sunil's VFO_BFO_DDS.ino file.

My 1st transmitter was a homebrewed unit.? I tore a war surplus ARC-5 TVI generator apart - got the 1625 PA tube & its socket, plus a spare 1625 & a few other parts.? The power transformer was a

*** They sure did make pretty radios back then, didn't they? Back in the 90's I once scored a Galaxy V at the ham swap for IIRC $50. It was brand new NOS. The seller claimed that he had pulled the

Ah yes. I started in 1954 with a 2 tube 15W rig as a Novice (KN8MGT), then a DX-20, then a DX-40, and finally a DX-60. Kept that until I got my first full-time job then got a GT-550. That was a nice

All, Got my Chinese linear working! A temporary setup - everything strapped to an oak board with cable ties. A row of toggle switches to choose the band. That's not a viable long-term solution,

It is likely caused by RF getting into the radiuno. Check your wiring and shorten long wires and use a shielded coax for your output to antenna. If it is V6 then the antenna may not be OK. Raj
