I found a old 40 channel Pace sidetalk 1000B. I modified a power cord for the 110 volt side and fired it up. The clock on the front panel doesn't work. But I have a few questions. I did pick on some distant talk on the LSB setting via one channel. Need to figure out some more testing.
AM - Regular 40 channel CB
LSB - Lower Side Band
USB - Upper Side band.
Some questions on knobs.
SWR - I know this is.
CAL - This is link to another knob that is adjustable . (don't know what it is)
S. RFO Do not know what this is.
All on one needle:
DB followed with number +30 S Unit
The next down is 12 RF0 0-12
SWR
CAL
I know what SWR is for adjusting. But not the other stuff.
Then you have the other knobs.
RF Gain - I know what this is
CLARI - Not sure what this is. I think it is to fine tune the signal.
Volume - Yes I know this.
Squelch - Yes I know this too.
when I'm am and another cb I get a voice. Not as clear I remeber but it has been years since I pulled my handheld cbs out of the box. When I put it on LSB or USB close to it. The voice is destored but seems to have more power.
If I remeber correctly. The Sidebands have more power.
Sorry for all the questions. But I only worked with 40 channel hand helds. Nothing else.
Also there is a slight hum of power when I transmit. On the receiving end it is fine.
No I do not know if this unit was changed in any way. There was one screw missing on the bottom of the unit. Also one more thing. There is a switch next to the power switch Say NB / OFF. Does not seem to do much. Just change the sound on the speaker a little.
Thanks,
Josh
I'll try to get a pic of the unit up to help if needed.
