With all due respect, I can't help but disagree w/much of what you said. Many phones, incl mine, are more than capable of that kind of storage. In fact I would say the majority are. My phone is small compared to many other phones. It came with 64G of phone storage and something like a TB in SD...
Could I buy one from you? I've tried to get such a copy from them and from here but it didn't work out for me. I tried to download, but I think it wouldn't start cuz not enuff room left on phone. I have a desk drive w/plenty of room & an adapter to phone to drive but I think it has to go thru...
I just thought of a question about that resistor change in your 142.. I think it was a lower resistor & you explained it is to lessen the slide bandwidth to make clarif more stable. What occurred to me... isn't the slide bandwidth only about 5kc or less w/the original 22k resistor? Maybe I'm...
Must be years ago I needed a 3756 but didn't have any & did a cross reference to find the nte version. I doubt very much they make the mb3756 anymore(?) and maybe some fixers out there didn't know about the 1271.i remember after getting the 1271,being surprised at what it said on the plastic pkg...
No really... The nte 1271 is a vcr control thingy and replaces the mb3756. In fact, I think I remember having a 1271 that was marked as a horizontal control chip which I used to replace a 3756. But I can't remember my dreams tho.
Sorry, now I figured out what I was talking about. I was conflating 2 different devices in my mind. . I was thinking about the 4558 dual op amp common to so many radios.
I thought it was an nte 1250 but it wasn't. I just remembered it was an nte 1271 which is listed as a vcr voltage control...
Great info & explanations of how these devices work. I have that info sheet somewhere for the 3756. I think I was trying to investigate why it is a bad thing to use pin 3 for the 8v source, as so many do, due to all the bad mods being copied for years. I think I was also checking to he sure...
Thats what I thought I said, ie, that the lower the resistance, the less the slide. I thought (perhaps mistakenly) that you had said you had a smaller resistor to increase slide. I must've read it wrong. Maybe you said (or meant) to make a more stable slide (drift).
Haha, I caught your "drift"...
Ah, I see, said the blind man. That's what I meant when I suggested maybe it was used to change (or limit (the bandwidth (of the clarifier). Altho I'm surprised that a far lower resistance would somehow cause the varacter to offer less slide... Would've thought a higher resistance was needed to...
Just checked the schematic and 22k is indeed the orrect value. Now I've got to find that other pic that member sent me to look at his resistor again. It sure didn't look like a 22k. Of course, if his clarifier is unlocked, it doesn't really matter what resistor he has as long as it's open. But...
Ok, I just checked & it's red/red/orange, I think 22k. Now I have to find that pic that was sent to me last nite, bcuz the r187 in THAT pic did not look the same. Actually, better yet I need to find the schematic I have, to see what value it's supposed to be. It's so freakin hard for me to...
Thanks for that. I don't know if you looked at the rest of the posts since yest, but I found the resistor & I reported it here. He asked me to take a pic further to the right from my 1st posted pic, which prompted me to look closer in that area & then I found the resistor, well hidden under a...
I just knew I got very frustrated between no replies for around 6 or 7 hrs (according to the time stamps) and then, what seemed to be a series of replies that assumed I needed info on how things work, as opposed to just telling me where to find the resistor. But that, I know now, was complicated...
Guys, it is increasingly difficult for me to use this forum, with my phone. I don't currently have any other internet device. That is part of the problem. So please excuse me. It's really bad on my end. It's very unstable & jumps around all over the place. Sometimes pics are not showing that I...
Ok, I thought I had this solved. Just now seeing your post with this again about D34. 1st off, I can't read your schematic as it's as fuzzy as my night vision already is which makes double bad, but I'm almost positive that is & 35, which needs to be open to unlock clarify. Do you still think...
