[Drakelist] Carrier Oscillator Issues

2010-06-14 Thread Robert Fish

Hi Guys,

I have a T-4XC that I thought I repaired. I replaced the crystal on the 
carrier oscillator board. I was then able to bring the oscillator on
frequency with C-6. I put the transmitter through some testing before I 
put the covers back on and I noticed that the carrier oscillator changes
frequency when I turn the sideband switch. Upper sideband reads properly 
5.645 MHZ  and lower sideband reads 5.64453 MHZ. I would not
have noticed this if I hadn't still had my freq counter plugged into the 
carrier osillator jack while switching sidebands.


Any ideas what is going on here?


Thanks,

Bob   K6GGO

Bob -

The RTTY shift is the only difference between USB and LSB switch 
positions aside from the filter switching.  In LSB only R16 is grounded, 
enabling the RTTY shift circuit controlled via J2 and Q4, CR2 and CR3.  
If J2 is shorted, the CO frequency is shifted approximately 500 Hz (470 
Hz!) to alter the LSB audio frequency response and allow the old 
standard high tone of 2975 Hz to pass through.  A short on J2, or the 
associated wiring.
