Don't forget the possibility of some types of CB's and how broad-banded they are and simply can't handle signals overloading the front end of the receiver which would greatly affect the ability of the receiver to sort those signals out. I'm not advocating that his radio isn't producing harmonics...
Let him contact eBay and then ask the idiots at eBay if they have any clue what a capacitor is and how it's being rated at more than 12v would make them illegal ? When you don't get an answer because they have no F*****g clue tell the caps came from Wuhan china and have been infected with a new...
Well solid-state circuits can be a real funhouse at times and I have been working on them for over 50 years and although I have learned a lot over the years every once in a while I get one that is just not following my idea of how it should just jump up and say hear I am fix me. Tube circuits...
I'm familiar with the 990 I have had them in the past for repairs but have never come across issues of the kind you speak of or anyone asking for it they have always been fine with factory spec alignments, that being said there are adjustments or limit adjustments that may allow the range to...
Ok, I will try to put something together on the DDS VFO. For now, this is the finished DX99V sporting a new Bezel, Faceplate a new set of knobs, and new plastic washers behind the knobs. This unit kept me busy seemed like every issue I cured caused another issue but I do believe it's in good...
It is my intention to do a video but it may actually be several videos not because it will take me several days but because it ends up being several days with all the interruptions and calls I field every day for repairs and the occasional walk in which always seems to eat up the day. But I will...

Also looks like I will be doing an...

Did I miss something or did he not say this was an intermittent issue. So if I'm right then all those steps Ray listed are valid but only when the unit is in a none working intermittent state. So it's all valid except (Intermittent loss of output power) Soooooo! you first need to be able to...
I will say I had one of these back in around 1979 on a 60' tower up on a ridge and it was a force for sure as I was running an old Footlocker about 600 watts. I could talk to stations in NY about 120 miles due north of my location. Worked really well for about a year till we had a freak wind storm.
Well, then you have a radio problem! can't tell you what it is as it could be many things that are causing it. You are sure the antenna is still functioning as it should?
Try this adjustment set the swr while fully modulating SSB whistle while calibrating the SWR meter then switch to test the SWR's while talking with MFJ . The radios internal swr meter is auto calibrating so it compensates for the difference in power from AM to SSB.
