- Bulletin #: 00389-001
-
- Date: January 3, 1989
-
- Subject: When servicing the radio, the technician may cause
- failure of the +5 V source by improperly replacing
- crystal X-3. We have seen cases of this occur-
- ring.
-
- Information: When replacing reference crystal X-3, the physical
- location of the crystal is critical due to close
- spacing of coil L-17.
-
- Procedure
-
- 1. Make sure the leads of X-3 are insulated with tubing to
- prevent shorting. If a short does happen the VCO buffer
- signal will be shorted to ground and cause PLL unlock.
-
- 2. It is suggested that the body of the crystal as well as the
- leads be insulated to prevent contact with L-17 in the VCO
- circuit.
-
- 3. Do not trim the leads of the replacement crystal as all of
- the supplied length is required.
