I worked on one of these this past year. It's still in service as a backup radio for a dispatch center. Still keeps on ticking except for the $^#*&^% buttons that get dirty and cause problems. 73, Joe, k1ike On 8/25/2010 2:09 PM, skipp025 wrote: > How much time has passed since RCA sold thei

Possibly. Wiggle the connectors while looking at the cavity on a spectrum analyzer and if the peaks and dips change significantly that's probably the problem. The one I had the solder kinda looked like it was sprayed out of one joint at the top of the can, and there was a lot of flux around the jo

I've seen this before on Wacom BpBr duplexers. Remove the coupling loop from the cavity and re-solder the connectors. Use 2% silver bearing solder if you can find it. On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 1:27 PM, Tim Sawyer wrote: > > > Here's the latest: We went up to our site yesterday. We added a lighting
