[Elecraft] XV222 RX is Dead, Need Advice

[Don Wilhelm]

Yes, I have one - BUT
Elecraft has the schematics for all the transverters.  Go to the manuals 
page and open the Retired Products page.
Then select the XV Transverter Owner's manual and download it.
You will find in Appendix A the schematics for the XV50, XV144 and XV222.
If you have a printed copy of the Owner's manual for those transverters, 
you will find the schematics for all of them in Appendix A.

The XV432 is a separate Owner's Manual.  It has a different board layout 
- the boards for the XV50, XV144 and XV222 are the same layout but the 
components are different.  See the board layout for each of them.

73,
Don W3FPR
