Don just by way of update, I have now tried again to do the CAL S LOW and CAL S HI here are the results. The CAL S LOW reading is now at 164 The CAL S HI reading is now at 23
Some odd things that have happened. 1. I adjusted R1 to get a voltage at U2 pin 5 of 3.80 volts. When this was done I was back to the old bad readings again. CAL S LOW of 255 and CAL S HI of nothing at all it just would not work for me I was not able to any LED bars to light when the RF gain was turned fully clockwise. 2. I then adjusted R1 so U2 pin 5 was back to 3.74 and then I tried to adjust again and still no luck 3. I then removed the boards again and looked at them as they were put back together. I did notice J8 was not seated fully. As I looked I found (looking from the back of the rig) the 2D fastener on the right side had a washer on it and it was under the control board and not allowing J8 to seat flush. I loosened the phillips screw and moved the washer forward and out from under the control board.When I put it back together all was working well again and I was able to align the S meter. 4. The last thing was after the alignment was done I came back to the radio and turned the RF gain fully counter clockwise and the S meter would not go to 10 but was flashing between 9 and 10 bars. I then went into CAL S HI and tweak it a bit from a reading of 23 to 22. All seems to be ok now. That's where I stand at the moment Don.
