I am seeing an issue so I was probing around and checking some Test Points and I’m seeing 2MHz on TP3 on USB and CT2 does nothing to affect TP3. This radio wasn’t working from the beginning and I found a few issues, it had the clarifier mod that I removed it was just sloppy and I don’t need. So...
I know this is an old post but does this mod really do anything? I just purchased a 2000 gtl that has it installed and listening on a receiver it sounds identical with mod in or out of use?
I put the radio on the bench this morning and good news is it all works, some dirty switches but that’s normal.
My test setup consisted of the following, LP-700, Oscilloscope, Spectrum Analyzer all going to a dummy load.
With switch on back in up or down position I’m seeing identical power out...
Yes I am using a digital scope to acquire frequency and what you say now makes perfect sense the scope want one frequency. I will pull out a radio with a meter and give that a go.
Correct if I take a handheld cb and put the rubber antenna inside the circuit board area I can hear myself on all channels AM, SSB & USB. receive is good on all channels, AM & SSB. All my voltages at IC5 mixer are correct and I see 34 MHz at pins 11 & 13 but I don’t see the 7.8 MHz at pins 7&8...
I had a little time today so I probed both sides of D53 and dint get anything. I attached a pic of the schematic I followed to FT3. I’m not sure why but I see the 7.8MHz at both TP62 & 63 but not TP61 or 64. The components marked in green are ones I checked to make sure not open or shorted all...
OK I picked up a scope and started looking at SO42P, I was seeing 35.8MHz on pins 11&13 0volts in both RX and TX and nothing on Pins 7&8 but did see .54vdc on both RX & TX. I did trace the voltage issue back to IC4 MB3756 luckily had a spare chassis from from long, long time ago so I pulled from...
