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 original problem but this is a new issue. The original problem was low output (3-4W on AM and 8W on SSB max.)
I replaced several components around the finals including the 1 ohm resistor which was open, and a 220ohm which had gone hi to 400 ohms. I also RPL the driver temporarily with a 2sc1018, which brought the radio to LIFE. I was getting over 10W on AM and 35W on SSB (which is normal), so I was actually finishing up doing the transmitter alignment when I noticed the rig was just going scan+. (I have a 2sc2166 coming for a proper replacement btw).
SO CLOSE, but I think this scan+ issue is something wrong with the CPU board now and nothing I did, jsut a coincedence or I zapped with static.
Has anyone been able to fix a 2950 that only goes to SCAN+?
