DL7MAJ Stefan you are good at restoring vintage shortwave receivers and alignment of vintage shortwave receivers and restoring vintage ham transceivers my friend
Thank you, Stefan, for showing us a receiver most of us would never see - happy you kept the video! I also do not believe in self-healing problems. I assume you inspected the power supply PCB for cracked solder joints - always a source of fun, intermittent problems. I own an HP 1980B oscilloscope that I restored to operation. It uses the same design philosophy as this receiver, an analog scope with digital controls. Amazingly it uses one rotary encoder to control all functions. Once you get used to its operation it is a pleasure to use. Regards, David
I too was curious over the conversion from 42 megs directly down to 200 Kc ..... I bet that image rejection filter was working very hard. Many marine receivers never implemented LSB, so I guess this one had a small advantage. Thank you for another enjoyable video..
Don't you hate when you take your car into the shop and the fault won't show itself? I have the TenTec RX-340 HF receiver that I gave myself as a retirement present many years ago...too bad TT is out of business now, hope the radio lasts longer than I do! ;-) TNX for the episode Stefan! 73 - Dino KLØS
