I'm not sure what would account for that physically or electrically...Regardless, I would replace them and probably the transistor to restore operation...Jim On Wed, Jan 8, 2020 at 7:57 AM <Hetzal@...> wrote: Jim, the resistors read open or infinite resistance.? |

Thanks to everyone in the group that tried to help me. I replaced the Q13 transistor and the resistor.? But have made my perfectly good receiver into an expensive bookend. I should have known better than mess with SMC when I'm a beginner.? Thos has been quite a humbling experience. I may now just sick with woodworking and leave the electronics to people that know what they are doing...

No!? No!? Start by playing with a few simple SMT circuits to improve your parts placement and soldering skill.? It is something that has to be learned from experience.? With a few hours of SMD soldering you will become familiar with this technology and will be on the road to becoming an expert.? For many of us Ham Radio is all about learning and application of recently learned skills.? This is not rocket science.? You can even do "ugly construction" or "Manhattan builds with SMT parts.? Parts to play with can be removed from dead TVs or toys.? Measure Resistors and Capacitors if the value is not legible.? Look up datasheets for multi-legged components.? Arv?

Farhan produced these radios for experimenters. We learn a lot trying to get them where we want. I have one that won¡¯t word, one working for which I need a good case, and a v6 that I can¡¯t get the sketch to compile or upload. But all in all I am learning quite a bit, in between the bouts of frustration.?
