Hi!
 
Many TR-7 lovers praise the second version of the 2nd IF/AF board because of its product detector MC1496 with its great audio. Browsing the Web I read that the V1 and V2 are interchangeable. What I don't find is the information about the changes on the PBT/REF board.
 
Because the MC1496 needs a lot more LO signal (BFO) (approx. 300 mV rms) the PBT/REF board was changed to produce a higher BFO level.
 
Apply the following changes to a V1 PBT/REF board to make it match with a V2 2nd IF/AF board.
 
V1 PBT/REF board
==============
 
R1058 = 68 Ohm  (was 220 Ohm)
R1060 = removed! (was 68 Ohm)
 
 
Happy HAM-ing!
