Anyone have a list of the alignment points for Version 1 SR-955HP? I can only seem to find them for the newer version 2?
especially the ones under the shielding ?

I acquired this not working and after finding a few bad solder connections on 3 of the 4 2200 electrolytic caps and a good cleaning of tons of flux I fired it up and it’s working. I see a few different models of the DX1200 one being a “HOT PLATE”? IS THIS A CW Model?
I see a small jack on the...
I should have stated all the electrolytic caps and larger resistors have been replaced. I also checked all the tubes prior to anything else being started. I will give a look with the O scope.
Radio is working perfectly as receive is very, very strong on all Bands and Channels. On AM I dead key 4.2 watts and swing 28 but on SSB I’m only seeing 10 watts. I went through the ALC c tuning procedure in the manual and I’m not getting any adjustment on R719, R719 sees 97 vdc on leg from...
Thanks Nomad! Ya the 201A manual and most of the Allignment procedures are for squat, take into account all the miss labeled parts and it can get someone in a heap of trouble! I always say, ask, learn before touch. I appreciate the info
Ok, I picked a D201A and it had some funky stuff going on but after replacing a crystal, 3 trimmers and the meter IC it’s working but LSB & SSB are low power compared to AM. I want to do the Neutralization but the procedure mentions a T700 tuned for max DC (where is T700 and at what point is dc...
I picked up a D201A that looks like it had some kind of mod but I can’t make it out.
I’ve attacked pic of what it is. I am seeing some voltage issues on the synthesizer board that aren’t normal and I’m guessing it has something to do with the mod? Unlocked Clarifier?
Thanks
After some back and forth with Ranger Communications they sent me this info.
Base Plus export version, J30 short pin to 2-3 position, remove resistor at copper side.
Look out Big Brother coming!

Guys I have a D201A I believe is the late model from the extra trimmers on the bottom?
im having a few issues.
1) meter pins far left all the time. I replaced V401 & V602 from a working D201A but still the same issue.
2) When radio is just sitting monitoring I hear the normal static on channels...
Yes I do have VR7, I am picking up a blown up schematic today so I can take a better look at what’s going on I can’t stand looking at a schematic on my iPad.
I did take a few voltage and frequency readings and all I can say is someone definitely took the turn before you understand rule. It...
Well, I did find different alignment procedures that do make more sense than the manuals.
PLL Synthesizer / Oscillator Frequency Alignment:
1. PLL2 - VCO Voltage:
A. Set radio to 24.890 MHz, AM RX mode, connect multimeter to TP10.
Adjust L14 for 1.0 Vdc ± 0.1.
B. Set frequency to 29.699...
The reason I brought this up is the fact I’m seeing a carrier on LSB & USB unmodulated. So If I’m reading and seeing things properly “L18” is the culprit most likely.
Seeing that the Alignment procedure is not that informative what’s the best approach for setting L18? I don’t want to just Willy...
