G'day list....Well, this R-390A I'm working on has more issues
than some presidential aspirants... The latest failure was the Xtal
calibrator but the xtal not at fault.
Problem turned out to be the 200kHz injection capacitor voltage divider
C312 and C313 with C 312 very leaky.
However I have a question, and in the process of of selecting a
replacement C312 and with the RF module on my test cable so I
could monitor changes, found that different value caps obviously
will change the injection level to the multivibrator.
SO .... would any one have a optimum figure for the injection voltage
to get maximum level of 100 kHz harmonics on all bands .
I am aware that high value of injection voltage changes
characteristics but what value were the designers looking for at R
222 /R223 junction ?
Curious !
Cheers
