Hi All.
I just acquired a Palomar Elite 250 Amp. I know this is one that was manufactured by someone else than Palomar. However I did find it uses the original Palomar PWB. I would like to install a SSB switch where it shows on the PWB but need a schematic. I also need to know the value of the missing cap.
I have tried the usual web sites, CB tricks, and others I belong to to no avail.
Anyone have a schematic of a original Palomar showing the missing Cap value and SSB switch wiring?
Any help someone could provide will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Almost all amplifiers are wired for SSB the same way they use a switch to
put a 1000uf capacitor across the relay coil the positive side of the capacitor goes to the voltage side of the relay the negative goes to the other side that's switched to ground with a transistor use a switch to break the connection to the negative side. Switch on SSB off AM. Look at any of the schematics on cb tricks you'll see what I mean You can rig something up yourself if you can't find the schematic your looking for.

I kind of figured that was the case. However I wanted to get someone elses opinion.
Thank you for the info.
Your help is apreceated.
