Parts may not appear damaged, but 45 year old caps need to be replaced. If they are not bad now, they soon will be. Trust me on this one, and ask around too. Resistor can get out of tolerance over time. Do not make the mistake I made - I was using a schematic for a DX-60B, I have a DX-60. There is a difference.

Sounds kind of like a resistor blew up, but that's a SWAG (Scientific Wild Ass Guess). Is there a resistor in series with a supply lead or in a cathode that might be cracked?

During my initial tune up, the transmitter acted as it it did not want to tune. There was an audible low pop. Then no power. Some one suggested maybe a breaker in the power supply chain, but I dont recognize one. The ham i got it from "claimed" that it worked. It seemed to, but it wouldnt tune and now no power. I followed tune up proceedure from manual exactly. I was using 80m xtal and antenna. I also have matching vfo. Any Ideas? -----Original Message----- From: Brian - KF5CCN <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 07:58 To: Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Any AM ops in my area? I have had a DX-60 for a couple of weeks now. I have done repairs and mods on it and it works great. What seems to be the problem with yours?

If you can find someone in your area that would be great. 2. If not start reading, and ask questions. (This is how I learned) 3. HV is not something you should be afraid of, it is however something you need to understand and respect. Best of luck. 73 Dave W9WRL.com Todd Carpenter wrote: > Hey gang are there any AM ops in the Owensboro, KY or Evansville, IN area who > could help me trouble shoot my Heath DX 60?
