I don't know enough to be sure, but here's my stab in case noone else chimes in.
r82/r83 appear to be a voltage divider for q22. If r82 becomes 22ohm, then r83 ought to go up 122% also. Another thought, since there's lots of room on that part of the board. Use 2 of each (15, 22), series/parrallel and make 18.5. Then order right part and put it in when it shows up. +-- 15 --- 22 ---+ ---| |--- +-- 15 --- 22 ---+ or two 33's or two 4.7's and a 10, or ....... whatever. Dan / WG4S / K2 #2456 <snip> 2. Concerning the smoked resistor, is it imperative that I replace it with an 18 ohm resistor? Or, can I opt to replace it with the closest standard value I have on hand (which is either a 15 or 22 ohm)? I ask this, since I don't know the design criteria. But, (from what little I know about design) I know that often (when a circuit is designed) the values that are calculated (for a particular component) are often replaced by the closest standard value that is on hand. </snip> _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
