I left it at 68k ohms. Doesn't seem to be harming anything and the radio runs cooler. Audio is very sensitive to every syllable, holds at max power the entire time speaking, no drop backs at all on certain words/syllables.

Update: Replaced the diode in the R238 location with a 5.1k ohm 1% tolerance resistor (need to order more 5% tolerance resistors). Reinstalled the limiter at the TR32 location with a new 2SC945. Replaced both Chinese brand 1000uf caps with Nichicon 2200uf 25v caps. Replaced the 330uf 16v...

Great info, thank you nomad.

Interesting.... Hmmm, normally in the R165 location there is a 220k up to 270k ohm resistor. Obviously it's not original according to almost all other resistors having tan coated leads. 68k (in this radios R165 location) is a far stretch from the typical 220k up to 270k normally found in the...

Got a Connex 3300hp on the desk today for a quick check. Owner said he bought it from the last tech around here which passed away a couple years ago and never hooked it up. He said he bought it used from the old tech. It has all new caps in it, someone recapped it before it got to me. Limiter...

These operators are slowly starting to push tube type radios on me, lol. Problem is, I know nothing about how a tube radio works. But that's never stopped me from accepting the challenge. This 201 is not the hand-wired 201. It's the second release 201. Issues: 1. Loud hum in receive speaker...

I replaced it, checked everything else out, hooked it up and let it warm up for bout 20 minutes, adjusted match between radio and amp to a 1:1, tuned it out and got around 525w pep swing, bout 380w peak swing and around 250w average(?) swing with a 100w key. Does that sound right for a 4 tube...

I've returned this radio back to it's owner. After I told him I needed more than 1 switch, he told me to just forget it, lol... Oh well, at least he's tickled pink with the receive and transmit performance it's doing now on the regular channels after the alignment.

At least the owner now has that aggravating roger beep again, omg... He's one of those that, when pissed off he will crank all his power up, mic wide open, mic gain wide open, radios echo wide open, mics echo wide open, radios beep going and mics beep going all at the same time, and constantly...

Got it... It was D82 shorted out due to a shorted C134 capacitor. Replaced the cap first, still no beep, checked and replaced D82, beep now works great.

Got an RCI2980 on the desk. Owner stated power dropped to 2w swinging 10w and Roger Beep not working. This guy bought this radio for 100 bucks a few months ago and brought it straight to me to check out cause it was stuck in PA mode and he wanted a complete alignment. Got it all checked out...

The others are correct in telling you to change out that resistor to a lower value. Try 68 ohm, if still not enough key then try a 33 ohm.

Sorry that didn't help out El. It worked on 2 I did, the others didn't need any change.

Yea, I checked that Thank you.

Got it wired right. Hooked it up to my dx959 and sounds pretty good with a 1:1 setting. There's 3 settings. 1:1 (local rag chew and periodic skip) 2:1 (heavy skip and DX conditions) 10:1 (extreme DX conditions) You can even wire a spst switch in to one of the above settings pad to switch...

Np eldorado, anytime

I think it's C62 that you need to apply more capacitance to in order to increase the carrier. It's back in the corner where the driver is at. The following is for an RFX75 on a 29, but the carrier info is the same regardless of which RFX you're using. In my experience with these RFX95HD amps...

Got a friend wanting me to install this D104 Pre-Amp plus compressor board into his D104. The D104 has the factory amp board in it, and I had to unsolder that board to install this board in it's place. The mic is of the TUP design. Here is the wire colors: Green Yellow Red battery Black...

But I guess bipolar would mean it's bi polarized, it can be installed in either orientation, whereas a non polarized would mean there is no polarity. I was confused.

Oh, I thought bipolar would be considered non polarized. Gonna order right ones anyway, I'll go ahead and use these to finish up this 2000 then since they'll work.
