Drake SW4A AGC issues part three


 

Hi everyone,

I wanted to update the progress on my SW4A problems with the AGC causing distortion with strong signals.

Over the Christmas holiday, I installed the tri-section electrolytic capacitor I got for Hayseed Hamfest.

I don¡¯t know if I scared the bejesus out of the radio with my 100W soldering iron, or perhaps a wire got moved? For whatever the reason, the old Drake SW4A is working fine. No distortion at all.

Chalk that one up to the unexplained.
