Tom & John,
Started some voltage checks. I again reveiwed the "Soldering Tips". Great
tutorial and I then proceeded to correct some errors, D6 RF board being the
first.
Found the audio problem. Receives wonderfully but plan to go over all
alignment steps again. I didn't connect the jumpers on one side of R18 &
R19. Last year I built a kit where you inserted two leads but left them
standing straight up so guess what I did this time...they were sticking
straight up from the board.
Back in alignment & test part 1, I tapped the display button and it read E
13.50.i0.06. In alignment & test part 2 the voltage displays were correct.
The internal voltmeter worked properly when switched in at S1 on CRTL board.
During the signal tracing (trying to find the lack of audio) I started
getting the Lo Batt, info 080 and the display went to E.00.00. i0.00 and the
voltage, when some relays, but not all are switched is very weak. So now I
am thinking perhaps a component is shorted or damaged.
