President Adams receive problem
Posted: Tuesday 28th Apr 2009, 9:11
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?:
