President Adams receive problem

Post by NightRanger3151 »

Radio Make and Model: President Adams

PCB Number: PC-346

PLL Number: 858

Test gear available: Power/SWR meter, Dummy load, Analogue Multimeter, Soldering Iron and solder, De-soldering pump

Symptoms: Weak receive on all bands (AM,USB,LSB) If someone is close (within a couple miles) I can hear them, but not like before. More than 3-4 miles away I can't hear them at all. Meter also reflects problem as it will only move on the strong close signals. I use this radio has a base radio hooked to a base antenna. Antenna is not the problem as other radios work fine when connected to it.

Output seems fine, 5 watts AM, 14 watts SSB


What is working: Everything still works except for low receive condition.

What has been tried: Checked for cold solder spots.

Did it suddenly happen ?: Yes

Anything else that may be of help?:
