[AMRadio] Power Levels

[James M. Walker]

Roger Mike,
I had occasion to help another BC-610(E) owner, who could not figure why the
thing only had one setting for the
high voltage! I said it has been tricked into CW mode in
the transformer switching, sure enough in ry3 was a piece of bakelite rod.
He was happy as his line voltage was 127 VAC measured night-time 123 measure
day-time, and he
"Just wanted it to run normal" now it does, oh yes and
he put a variac(autotransformer) on the input set it to 115
VAC and it lived happily ever after.
Over Over
