Reading the Manual TO-12R2-3BC-112, Revised 15 April 1957, Page 4-3 paragraph 'e'.
On the four lower frequency tuning bands the
oscillator frequency is higher than the desired signal
by the intermediate frequency. On the two higher
frequency ranges, bands 5 and 6, the oscillator is on
the low frequency side of the desired signal. The latter
results in a more uniform tuning ratio over these
bands and increases the image rejection ratio.
Before I start doing Brain surgery on BC-348R by pulling the RF
Units .....
I was Checking Oscillator output frequency with a frequency
counter, tweaking the outputs from the oscillator on each band.
Band 4, frequency range of : 6 - 9.5 MC, reading the manual the
Oscillator High Side output should be between 6.915 - 10.415 MC
for band 4?
My Oscillator goes dead no output, between DIAL Frequency reading of: 7.2 to 8.8 MC - which equates to an Oscillator output frequency of "+.915" should be between 8.115 - 9.715 MC.
Issue the output Frequency goes to 0 as measured on Pin 8, VT-91, 6J7.
If the manual is not wrong, why is the oscillator output dropping to 0, on this one band?
It aint the tuning cap!-} , as there are no problems with
other bands.
Thanks for you thoughts in advance.
