Re: Sx100 question on 50.5 kc alignment
Those that have more experience with testing these points in the SX100 or any other radio that normally uses a VTVM to check DC voltage.....can I do this with my oscilloscope? My probe is a 1x & 10x.

Re: SR2000 load cap
I¡¯m with Tom. Use shorter shafts at both ends and use a flex coupler.

Re: SR2000 load cap
Is there enough room for an adapter plate? Is because the balls were missing in the old one? If you remove the rear adjustment screw, (if it has one ) you may be able to replace the balls

Re: SR2000 load cap
Possibly a flexible coupling shaft or maybe you can rig up a shaft with a universal joint in it? Tom W3TA Sent: Wednesday, April 3, 2024 8:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject:

Re: SR2000 Cant Null carrier
Hmm.. I honestly do not know. It does not appear to be cracked. Although that is a very common failure of trimmers. FT101 for example. If not adjusted in many years, They will crack when someone

Re: SR2K Chirp
Ok. Nice. Sounds like you're making progress! Both mine are on back burner now. I have to wait for parts to resume work. I get the new load cap first. W0VMC made me one. He took a slightly larger cap

Re: SR2K Chirp
The chirp is only for a nano second... it is not a oscillation as you described. It's a blip chirp, haha. I was able to adjust the PIN 3 bias voltage down to factory specs by increasing the resistance

Re: SR2K Chirp
On My rig if you turned the load knob it would vary the chirp. It was worse when the plates made contact. Did you try to loosen the mounting screws while listing to the chirp? Yes. The plates are

Re: Sx100 question on 50.5 kc alignment
I agree and bet that the issues are indeed related, but I would stick with the designed values on the parts list and schematic.

Re: SR2K Chirp
yes. The plates are shorting. This radio was shorting on the back section. About 2 to 3 plates in. I could set it so the rig was oscillating, then, using a plastic tool, spread the plates and noise

Re: SR2000 Cant Null carrier
Just an observation from my experience with Collins S/Line gear. It seems that over time, the ceramic trimmers seize and fail to turn without exerting a high twisting force. With enough twisting

Re: SR2000 Cant Null carrier
There are two main causes for the ceramic variables failures. Long time storage in humid conditions and improper chassis cleaning methods. ________________________________ Sent: Wednesday, April 3,

They are originals. I checked the band colors and one is a 1meg and the other 820k. Neither tested anywhere close to these values. Thankfully I do have something in which to replace them. According to
