Re: Looking for an interconnect cable and PC board connectors for a TS-690S
You’re probably correct, and I suppose it really is the true spirit of amateur radio to come up with non-standard fixes, but ?it still bothers me when I see these “unelegant” repairs. ? Stan N6BYU ?

GREAT Bob!? Glad I could help with the Schematic!? Now, ENJOY!

FIXED!!! The schematic saved the day. Funny how that happens, eh! 73 and thanks to all again. Bob? W4JFA
Oh yeah. This evening found two burned caps. Took out some traces as well. I have all the caps so hope to get at it Friday. Hopefully that IC survived. Bob W4JFA?

Gary, Yes. If you notice for the main board there's only a block diagram and a drawing of the parts locations but not a schematic. Lou sent me the actual schematic that I needed. That drawing of the parts location was also very helpful. Thank you guys!!! I'll let you know how I do. Bob? W4JFA

Someone downloaded the service manual from the second link, after

David,
You have PLL unlocking. It could be a failing or oxidized VCO trimmer cap , or it might simply require adjustment as per the manual.
I hope this helps....73...Jordan VE6ZT

----- Original Message ----- From: "David" <ns8s@...> To: < [email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 28, 2024 8:10 AM Subject: [Kenwood-Amateur-Radio] TS-450SAT I recently acquired a very nice 450S at a Traverse City, MI swap. I began by having a classic problem with no audio, and traced it to the usual suspect audio coupling capacitor. That fixed the problem, and a week or so later while monitoring on 20 meters, the radio reception quit, with the CW UL "Unlock" signal. I pulled the board, and found a couple leaky capacitors on it. I checked the primary oscillator and was dead on 20.00000 mhz. I left the covers off to monitor the crystal frequency, and it played nicely for over 24 hours. I put the covers back on, placed the radio in the operating position, and felt it was fixed for good. An hour later, the dreaded "UL" cw code came on, and this time, powering the radio off, and back on after about 10 minutes, it played again for another hour. I suspect the crystal, or supporting elements around the crystal. Has anyone else seen this problem? What's the real fix?
