- TNC2.13
- (4) Put the 1" long sleeving over each end of the 1 kohm resistor. Make a
- hook in one end and loop around the lead of the new 1.5 kohm R34
- nearest to the battery (the end that goes to the LED). Solder the
- other end to U14 pin 8. That's it!
-
- The way this circuit modification works is as follows: when you are in
- receive, the LE^@?is being driven by +5V thru R34 and a high output level
- from the gate at U14 pin 8, resulting in normal brilliance. When you
- transmit, U14 pin ^@ goes low, resulting in lower current thru the LED.
- IF you wish to reverse the sense of the LED (dim on receive, bright on xmit),
- take the U14 end of the 1 kohm resistor to pin 9 instead of to pin 8
- improve the heat conduction from the 7805 to the aluminum cabinet:
- a. Drill a small hole (to clear the 4-40 or 6-32 screw in step b.) in
- the bottom of the case to line up with the mounting screw for the
- 7805 regulator. this should be 1.32" from the front lip of the
- case and 0.55" from the side of the case.
