2 2SA1115(E) Transistor Q401, Q402
4 lS1555 Diode D401-D404
1 4.7k ohm 1/8 watt R405
2 22R ohm 1/8 watt R403, R404
2 47K ohm 1/8 watt R401, R402
Insulated hookup wire #28 guage J401, J402, J403
1 Short Jumper
MODIFICATION PROCEDURE:
CAUTION: THIS MODIFICATION REQUIRES ADVANCED SOLDERING AND PRINTED
CIRCUIT BOARD MODIFICATION TECHNIQUES, AND SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED
BY EXPERIENCED KIT BUILDERS AND OR TECHNICIANS. IF YOU ARE AT ALL
UNSURE OF YOUR ABILITY TO INSTALL THIS MODIFICATION AFTER READING
THESE INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE WITH MORE EXPERIENCE PERFORM
THE MODIFICATION FOR YOU.
1. Remove the power connector from the radio.
2. Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the top cover (8 screws).
Be careful of the VOX controls, and the speaker lead, which may be
unplugged.
3. Loosen the two countersunk side screws and remove the 2 screws securing
the IF unit bracket. Swing the bracket up slightly to access and
remove the two heat sink screws. Swing the assembly down.
4. Remove 7 screws trom tne IF unit. Protect the top of the front panel
from scratching.
5. Desolder IB1 and discard (use a 45 watt or less iron, and solder wick).
6. Locate the white jumper wire that is plugged on to the "S" terminal of
the IF unit. Desolder the wire from its present location, and reinstall
as shown in figure 1.
7. Install a short jumper wire, as shown in figure 1.
8. Cut the foil paths as shown in figure 2. There are five locations that
must be cut.
CAUTION: Ensure you cut only the traces as shown in the figure. Spend a
little extra time to ensure you have correctly identified the
trace to cut.
9. Install J401, J402 (may all ready be installed), J403, D403, D404,
R403, R404, and R405 as shown in figure 2 (use the shortest lead
lengths possible). Check to ensure there are no solder bridges, or
splashes on the board.
10. Install Q401, Q402, R401, R402, D401, and D402 as shown on figure 2,
again being careful to check for solder bridges, shorts, etc.
11. Check to see if D82 is installed, as shown in figure 1. If it is not,
install it (1S1555). D83 should also be installed on the foil side of
the board, as shown in figure 2.
Note: Some units have D82 and D83 installed, if so go to step 12.
12. Move the filter select jumper to the "A" pin, as shown in figure 1.
13. On Control Unit (X53-1290-00), cut the lead of resistor R129.
14. Solder a jumper wire to the metal lead of resistor R129, as shown in
figure 5. Connect the other end to IF Unit connector 18 pin 2 from
the foil side of the board as shown in figure 4. The wire may be
conveniently routed between the circuit board and the chassis.
15. Install insulating tape below the area of the modification to ensure
that no components short out against the case.
16. This completes the modification procedure.
The TS-430S will now select either AM Wide or Narrow.
Before reassembly, go back through the procedure and check your work,
to ensure no errors have been made
NOTE: This is an optional change and may not be performed in warranty.
