OK Ed, I have 2 files showing the PCB details with -26 variant info. They frequency reference is still kept totally internal. If higher stability or external reference is available, the internal is removed and a mini coax socket fitted to have a cable connected to have an input on the rear

Ed, No external fixing, all internal just like the original. The 'Parts Lists Amendment' states the alternative IC700 frequency reference is used in -16, -26, -36 for FCC I think it differs from the standard by having 4 pins, one of which is the FM pin with the voltage setting arrangement.

Hi Ed, I have read the info again and it's a bit confusing. In the -26 variant the IC700 reference is 539-00010-55 and the standard is 539-00010-50. But there were different devices used under the 539-00010-50 number an 'old' one by NDK and a 'new' one made by Rakon. The 'new' one only uses 3

Hi Ed, The differences I see between the -25 and -26 are minor. Caps and resistors in the Low Pass Filter audio stage and a different 12.8Mhz reference with a voltage tuning pin, where the standard didn't have it. The specifications of the reference are same otherwise, 1ppm -20 to +70. If you
