Re: TR7 low band TX oscillation


 

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

Thanks for the advices.

I've tested my TR7 with an external "laboratory" PSU and saw that the RF signals (LO, BFO, etc...) were all affected by a heavy noise.

My scope on the 13V PSU shows that this PSU is really bad ! It has noise and oscillations superposed to the DC voltage.

?

What puzzles me is how can these noises affect the TR7 stages in such a proportion !

This is why I suspected a filtering problem on the boards.

?

I can't change all caps on all boards.? :-) So I will start with the VCO for which I ordered the caps.

I'm reluncant to change the PS7 main routage, as I want to sell both sets after complete repair.

?

Thanks for the help.
