    attuverse problems

    Not specifically, but be advised that the Uverse service uses freq from AM BCB up past 8mhz over your unshielded (likely untwisted) phone line. When you use the radio (I'm guessing its a 10 or 11 meter rig) there would normally not be anything in that freq range. BUT as the Uverse device is a...

    RCI-2950

    I've analyzed the Microcontroller datasheet and cpu pcb schematic and found a number of really interesting things. 1. Ranger built this design without any esd protection whatsoever. 2. The up/down buttons going out to the mic are directly connected to lo-current CMOS I/O pins, the pullup is...

    RCI-2950

    This is the new style CPU board with no battery or reset button. This morning I only had a chance to check the cap (1 1000uf) and noted that while on, the voltage was up around 5V. Within seconds of turning the set off it had dropped to 1.5V and quickly dropped to 0 in a couple minutes. I...

    RCI-2950

    Howdy all, Have an RCI-2950 (working on it for a local) that is currently stuck on Scan+. When I turn on it goes straight to scan+, it scans upwards and no response from any of the keys on the keyboard. Only "Split" makes a noise and changes the direction from + to -. This is not the...

    Royce 1-632 SSB

    AM is great on this rig. SSB - not so much. In fact when aligning I found different spots for even a decent amount of output on SSB. So far excellent reports on AM, not a single callback on SSB. Any thoughts?

    horrifying feedback - mic attached

    OK so I'm intending to put my newly aligned and awesome sounding 1-632 in the 4-wheeler, but the mic I'm using has an electret element, so I wired up a cap and resistor and 9 volt. Now theres a terrible feedback whenever the speaker is attached. It looks like the PTT doesn't switch the mic out...

    RCI-2950 no voice, only a rushing sound

    Local guy doesn't have any stock and would have turned me away based on symptoms. Says he also hasn't seen a working CPU board in a while. He also recommended reset + RPL CR2032 (thus I have the original RCI-2950 with battery on CPU board). He referred me to radioshopsupply.com - guy is cool...

    RCI-2950 no voice, only a rushing sound

    Bah. If thats the case - $50 down the crapper. Found him at the hamfest tailgate section so I knew what I was getting myself into. Receive works very well so maybe he becomes a base station to rx 10m? Having just about finished things up on the align tonight your description is exactly...

    RCI-2950 no voice, only a rushing sound

    Still working on this. Did what I could on the PLL alignment last night and started some of the tx align, I was listening ot myself on a couple diff radios and trying to tune for best sound. I think the PLL align took care of a lot of it, now I just am gonna get hold of an SWR/Wattmeter to do...

    RCI-2950 no voice, only a rushing sound

    Howdy all - working on an RCI-2950. Receive working great. Transmit in all modes, occasionaly you can hear faint voice but over everything - on AM, SSB, and FM, there is only this loud rushing almost staticky white noise. Virtually nil on output power. The weird thing is that the roger beep...
