Also change out any electrolytic capacitors. At times I have seen the inductors on the counter board go open.
They look like little resistors.

I saw your pm today. Been very busy here.
I have yet to get back on working with one of these. Sometime in the future when time allows.

Test Equipment / SENCORE CB42
« Last post by Crambone on May 11, 2019, 10:14:14 AM »My CB42 frequency counter isn’t showing correct frequency, all numbers light up. I checked power to the top board and I’m seeing the 5v and 10v.
Just not sure we’re to start looking. I looked on YouTube and seen a video by The Radio Shop but it wasn’t for counter diagnosis.
Any suggestion on were to start? I did print out all the schematics he had on his site.

Ham Radio Circuits and Repair / ICOM IC-7800 blown PA and other maybe power surge damage / repair notes
« Last post by VE1IC on May 05, 2019, 09:08:45 PM »Got an older IC-7800 that has a blown PA to the tune that it needs a complete replacement board. It burnt the PCB crisp so the parts easily move on one side. It blew the 48V traces off the board, ugh. Seems to me I've seen a thread like that before a few years ago, or maybe I am day dreaming again. I am hoping that ICOM is still making this PA.
Other than that the unit does not power up, no stby light nothing. Some repair shop I don't want to name here in CDN had opened it and did some damage to the Ant. SW unit. I do remember that ICOM had problems with the early version PSU's. So I am hoping that the problem is due to the 48V being shorted (because of the PA) or the 15V rail or the -12V rail dead, anyway... something along these lines...
I am not really a stranger to big radios like that, but fixing this is gonna be $$$ and slow. Maybe call it my summer / fall project.

« Last post by VE1IC on May 05, 2019, 08:53:11 PM »anyone has a working PLL unit for sale? I am not sure but if the 745 has the same board than the 751 has. It looks the same...

Nice setup and at times we have to do the best we can.
HF mobile can be quite fun. I had a TS-140 and home brew HF antenna and had a great time with it.
