uniden washington blead over.... :(

[KD2GOE]

my uniden washington has no channel rejection this bleed over from other people is killing me. I can here a few people 15Ch away making it hard to DX on 38lower.

I think it is time get a different radio.
ok end of Ranting... :headbang

Three options:

1. Move further away from the source.
2. Get a beam and turn it away from the source
3. Get a radio that has better rejection.

I think that's what ill have to do :glare:

you may just have some caps going bad in the radio. it is old enough they are getting weak.change all the 10 volt caps in it 1st and see how it does. put 16 to 25 volt caps in their place and should clear up your problem. it would only cost s few dollars if you can do it your self.

How are the electrolytics going to affect adjacent channel rejection?

This is clearly an IF filter problem. More to the point, leakage around an already marginal filter.

I have 3 just recapped last year and one of them was doing the same thing and after recapping them the one that had the bleed over cleared up. just a thought .

Could also be overload due to proximity to a station that is running a lot of power and a improperly modified radio - too . . .

Lots of possibilities; you might need to sort it all first.

Sounds like typical Washington behavior.

Or, a bunch of splattering bigs guns overloading your front end.

That's the first thing I did after upgrading all the power wire to 18 awg
I used united chemi-con caps and 3 Panasonic due to back order.

After that I had it aligned

I did the schottky diode and transistor mod but that mad no difference good or bad in that department.

Yeah I think it is a combo
typical Washington behavior, and power output.
I think one guy is about 2 miles and I know the other guy is 5 miles
2 mile guy splashs me all the time the guy 5 miles only when he turns the power up to 100 watts.

I have a guy with in 1 mile with a 99v? with a bult in amp pushing 100watts don't even get any splash.



Is this the difference between single and dual conversion?

No - it's the difference between good transmitters and bad ones.

the other guys more than likel;y have the limiters pulled from their radios and that causes a lot of channel bleed over. that is why I like to leave my limiters in place so I do not bleed all over every one.
