- IC720A
- ======
-
- LOW RF OUTPUT : The PA transistors on his rig seem to be very
- reliable. The fault is usually the driver transistors (2SC1945)
- which are located on the board on the right when the top is
- removed.
-
- NO TX : Check R108 (2R2) in series with the TX 9v switching
- transistor.
-
- NO TX AND NO RX : Check R115 (2R2) in series with the 9 volt
- regulator transistor.
-
- LOW SENSITIVITY : If this is worse when the attenuator is
- switched out, then check Q1 and Q2 (2SK125) the RF amp
- transistors.
-
- RX SENSITIVITY DROPS WHEN BAND CHANGED : Check for dirty
- contacts on the solenoid operated band switch.
-
- GENERAL COVERAGE TX MODIFICATION : Locate plug P2 (which plugs
- into J10) at the back of the main unit. The light blue wire
- going to this plug is the MUTE wire - cut and insulate it.
-
- TRANSVERTOR CONNECTION : On some units it may be neccessary to
- change an internal plug to get the required signal out of the
- transvertor socket - refer to pages 22 + 23 of the manual.
