"n0tu/Steve" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Folks, After a year or so being lost from this list I return with a question?
I've a sick R4B? Low sensitivity and distorted audio seem to be the symptoms. By low sensitivity I mean I can hear most signals about or near the same 'level' as on a comparative gen coverage RX sitting next to it BUT there's not much happening on the R4B's S-meter? Also the "distorted audio" sounds like lack of AGC or too much of same?? This R4B has the addition of the Crystal Filters ala QST january 1972 http://www.dproducts.be/Drake_Museum/01_1972_html.htm and I'm not sure if this is the cause of the reduced sensitivity or audio issue? For starters I've blown out the dust and cobwebs and apllied 'controlled-sparing' amount of contact cleaner to the bandswitchs hoping this would find the issue? No go! Suggestions welcomed on troubleshooting? Tks!
