Got a Galaxy Melaka base on the desk.
Issue:
Weak receive, high static noise.
Constant 3db of signal with heavy hash noise. Local strong stations only put about 6db on the meter (with meter turned wide open). All modes. Transmit is great, other than SSB sounds distorted (all limiters still intact and functioning properly).
Replaced all electrolytic caps, even the 50v caps with new Nichicon brand.
Checked TR17, TR19, D15/D16, C49, solder joints, etc...still can't get receive up to par. RF gain functions properly. The voltages on TR17 and TR19 look good according to voltage chart.
All alignment steps went great, couldn't ask for better numbers and ease of alignment. No issues whatsoever when aligning.
Any ideas out here on this issue?
