[R-390] Little problem

Gil,

I agree with Tom about the 14MHz crystal.  As this crystal serves the 11
MHz and 25 MHz bands, I would look at the 25 MHz band and see if it is
off as well. If it is, you definately have a bad 14 MHz crystal.

Good luck,

Frank

Hello, fellow enthusiasts.

I have a wonderful R-390A that I have been listening to on and off over
the years; lately I've had it more on than off, as it should be. I
listen to different bands, depending on what the time of day or night it
is and how much time I can spare.

In the last week, I've noticed that I can no longer calibrate the
receiver on the 25 meter band (actually anywhere in the 11+ Meg range).
Whereas I get an ear-piercing squeal on all the other bands when I
calibrate, on 25 m I can barely hear the BFO. The resulting frequency
calibration is about 8-10 khz off (above the correct frequency).

I no longer tinker much with my radios and have no signal generator or
test equipment. But I do have the manuals and I think if it isn't too
serious, I could probably adjust the band if someone tells me what has
to be done.

I'm on digest.

Thanks in advance,

Gil Torbeck
