Tnx, Stuart, I scoured the web site and could not find such an animal.
I bought my rig on July, 1998, serial no. 04A10018. I am capable of fixing
whatever may go wrong provided I have adequate documentation. And I do not
consider my complaints as trivial.
There is no component layout drawing for the 9 mHZ board. Nor is there an
overall board interconnect schematic. For example: I cannot find what
connector 45 on the control board connects to.
Nor could I find what connector 87 on the logic board connects to. I
subsequently found out the hard way From Yuri, that it connects to an
un-marked socket!
There is no really comprehensive adjustment or alignment procedure. For
example: There is no information on how to adjust pots R27 and $31 on the 5
mHZ board.
I found a far superior explanation of the PLL operation in the ARRL
handbook!
And so it goes. :-)
AL, w6wqc
