Having a hard time trying to figure which forum to put this in? I hope this is the right one? *Blink*
Anyhoo, as seen in the subject, I have a DX-302. I purchased this from a fellow HAM for $40.00 a while back. It had the standard broken gear and that is fixed. Temporarily. If I can figure how to fix the rest of it, then I'll get proper gear replacement.
The problem is the DX-302 doesn't work. Well, it works, it just doesn't work WELL.
For instance, here in my area, I am very close to 1350khz, the sports channel. Now I have never been really keen on sports, but that frequency has good in helping me figure this gizmo out. I also have a DX-400 as well as a YB 400. Both are in excellent condition. Both receive 1350khz perfectly. The DX-302 receives it but more like it is far away. With static. Does not come in well at all. Neither does anything else.
So my question is if I were to replace the caps, would this fix the problem? I mean, it is LIKELY to MAYBE fix the problem?
Conversely, does anyone want a fixer upper DX-302?
