No one said that the installation instructions from Sherwood Engineering would be easy to follow but I've run into a problem for which I can find no answer. Of course, everyone is at Dayton (but me), so I thought I'd ask the group for some help.
Installing a Sherwood four filter switch kit in an R-4C ----------------------------------- Wiring the SSB board: (Page 3, latest version, DC Connections) #1. The instructions say to attach a 2 foot wire to the SSB filter board pad labeled BLUE and run it through the center cable-harness cutout, for a later attachment. There is no pad labeled BLUE, although I was able to figure this one out by following the schematic of the board for which there was a "Blue" connection, supplying power to the two filter-switching relays. #2. The instructions say to attach a 2 foot wire to the SSB board pad labeled +12V. There is no pad labeled +12V. The schematic diagram of the SSB filter board shows no such +12V connection and indeed shows only the connection indicated in step #1 which appears to be the same as in step #2. #3. Wire the board to a +12V source near the R-4C accessory plug. No mention of the blue wire or which wire to connect to the +12V source... although +12V would seem logical, if there were such a wire. Of course, attaching the BLUE wire to the +12V source would activate the relays locking them permanently in the closed position. No doubt, when installing the filter-switch assembly, all this will be explained, (one should hope). I'll continue to read on, but if there is someone who has some experience with this and might be able to shed some light on the installation, I would appreciate hearing from them.
