I guess you dont know when to drop the rope. Whatever you say man. Not sure why this came through my email as I opted out. I suppose you're trying to get others to chome in and start conspiring. Do as you please. There are many other support circles out there than ones that have their users...
Thanks to those who offered new information. Thanks to those who thought they were helping but turned it into an english exam. With all the fakes out there, I have decided to go the mosfet route and bec done with it. The mosfets are now installed and the radio is booming. Transistors have found...
Yes. You are right. Both finals do meet up at the collector but are separate at the base by coupling caps. I could literally remove the collector and test each one that way. I've properly adjusted VR11 for 20 ma between tp 7 and 9. Ive adjusted vr10 for 50 ma. Very odd because the current creeps...
.7 volts is good on both. R271 is good. injected 2k into the mic. Scoped it both transistors appear to be equal output on my scope but one has a slightly lower input to the base. I'll change the caps and retest it. If that doesnt fit the bill I have another good powered dx99v that I can strip...
UPDATE: R271 good, L50 good, R270 good, VR20 good, there is only 2 disc caps. C209 and c208. Coupling and a decoupling. If they come out to be good that its got to be a final that is an original and meter tests good that could be somehow fooling a meter test. Or the diode. We'll see.
Thats on the menu. Another weird thing that I found was a jumper very close to the finals that has a rubber insulator over it. Not heat shrink. Its a jumper that measures 25 ohms? ?? Should be a short! Anyhow? Other than that final issue, the rf power knob does nothing I tested it all the way...
Studying the scematic, and further testing shows that when powered down for the night, and then immediately setting everything up to adjust VR20 as per service manual, I do get my bias capabilities back as long as I dont reinstall the mirror board. Once its back in, then I key up, I get only 4...
Appreciate the come back. I will check on the .7 volts. Thats new info but the rest of what you said is appreciated but mentioned in my thread. Thanks.
I know, I know. Not another galaxy thread. I did try asking through an old thread but got no response. Firstly to minimize redundant comments, I am a radio technician military trained. 22 years service. Lots of know how in repairs and restoring. All adjustments as per service manual done...
My VR 20 wont get me any current. Transistor is real and its good. Very strange. The transistor associated with vr 10 I can get way more idle current out of it. When adjusting the pot for 50ma, its very touchy. Hair rigger. Very jumpy. It easily can go way past the 50 from the looks if where 50...
