[Kenwood] TS950SDX Distorted TX audio

[John Tait]

Awhile ago, I post a request for help with a problem on a TS950SDX. It had
intermittant distortion on the "Moni" audio, and also occasionally on the TX
audio. Unfortunately, nobody came up with a solution..
       Anyway, I sent it off to the "premier??" repair shop in the UK.. It
was returned, unrepaired, with a note saying  "this a common problem with
950s, there's no real cure for it"..    Eh??
    Class A1 certified nonsense..!!
I once more turned to the web for help... Lo and behold..... On searching
www.mods.dk. for inspiration...There it was..under "Countermeasures against
cold solder joint at resistor block CP1-CP4 in PLL unit" the exact symptoms,
AND the cure thrown in for good measure..!
  We're now up and running perfectly again..
           THANK YOU  www.mods.dk.
