looking for someone in Northern IL to do some radio work i do have a PDF copy of the service manual if that helps
i just got a Pro 2006 and would like the scan rate increase mod done and maybe the Smeter mod depending on what type of smeters can be found
im not sure even where to get said parts
i also need a drop of solder put on an Ant.
i found this online but not sure its right nor not
Scan rate increase
Parts : 16Mhz. Quartz Crystal - fundamental cut
Replace CX503 (12Mhz) with a 16Mhz crystal, clip diode D503 (near D502)
The unit now scans at around 40 channels per second.
so 12 to 16 Mhz increase scan speed will even higher mhz make it even faster??
"S" meter output
Parts : 10Kohm 1/8w resistor, 0.1 uf capacitor
Locate D33 on the linear PCB. Solder in the 10K resistor to the ANODE
of this diode. Note this is not the same as TP2. Connect a wire from
the free end of this resistor to a rear panel jack (RCA). Solder the
0.1uf capacitor from the jack's center terminal to ground. Output on
this jack follows the AGC voltage. Negative for no signal, goes
positive when a signal is present, increasing with signal strength.
A 1Volt full scale panel meter makes a good "S" meter
