Re: Looking for L75 amp meter replacement.

Re: RV75 Issues: Part 3
Clint, Yes, figured this out. Using the freq counter in my Tek 2465BCT scope. The good news: the Reference Oscillator is right on freq: 1.28000 MHz at TP114 The bad news: the VCXO appears not to be

Re: RV75 Issues: Part 3
Hi Rick, The TP114 test point should be a good place to get the frequency. This is to prevent loading on the oscillator. All I have got to go on is the schematic which isn¡¯t a very good copy. It¡¯s

Yes, my pics are pre-recap. Capars are a ticking bomb. Check often for strange spurs. "VE7PS" <ve7ps@...> wrote: -- 73 -Jim NU0C

Peter, I have downloaded the data sheets for the digital integrated circuits on the digital board and studied the ToO section of the manual until I can almost recite it verbatim. As I look at the

Re: Drake UV-3 transmit offset issue
Hi Mike. Looking quickly at the Offset Bd schematic, lines T, L, M, N should not be changing state in 140, 220 modes as these control the 5 Mhz offset for 440 Mhz. The 140, 220 and 10.7 Mhz (receiver

Re: RV75 Issues: Part 3
Here is a photo of my RV-75 which is set for a TR7. So yours seems to be ok. Some where I have some notes on the position so will have to look. 73? Bob

Re: RV75 Issues: Part 3
Rick: FWIW...I notice you have different electrolytic caps in there - i.e. not CAPAR? Do they look original, I wonder, or have they been changed? If so...hopefully all done correctly! Jim can confirm,

Re: RV75 Issues: Part 3

Re: Drake UV-3 transmit offset issue
Could it be that there is a programming arrangement somewhere on the board that selects the offset? Maybe a resistor jumper somewhere that has been installed? 73, Clint, VE3CMQ
