#83 Back to Basic Radio Troubleshooting
In this video we take a look at a 5 dollar black box radio. CB radios are a good learning platform if ytou are just starting out in radio electronics. They can be bought for a few bucks. This radio was manufactured over seas and has been reproduced under many names. It uses the standard export EPT3600 board. Can we make the radio work again? Lets find out.

Test Equipment / JDR 3500 /Dick Smith 35 MHz scope repair thread
« on: December 02, 2016, 07:19:16 AM »
Here we have a JDR 3500 35 MHz 2 channel scope. This unit came in with no trace.  After looking I found Q8 (S2D401) shorted.
This was replaced and other components tested.  This unit uses some type of switch mode power supply for the high voltage and heater. Power comes from 15 volts DC into the circuit.

I really do not know that much about these switching high voltage supplies

In this video we throw a QRP microvolt wattmeter together out of junk parts.
This meter has two ranges. 0-1 and 0-10 watt settings.

#80 Realistic HTX-100 diagnostic and repair

In this video we take a donor radio and do a little troubleshooting to see just how bad a shape it is in. Since I already have one of these I will probably give this radio away to someone in need.
