Interesting. I disconnect TB102, 3-4, ground 4 and 3mV into J513 is way
too much RF for the carrier meter in AGC mode. Reduce the input to about
250uV and that gives me 50 on the carrier. 0V on TB102-3. About 5
minutes later the carrier drops to 0. I have to increase the RF input to
1.3mV to get 50 on the carrier again. It seems to be holding there, but
there's 0V on pin 3 no matter what I do. Carrier has been holding steady
for half hour now with 1.3mV in. Oh, wait the voltmeter is not plugged
in. Let's start over.
I need to get that other IF module working which means repairing the 2KC
filter. That will take a few hours if I can fix it. It was working but
all of a sudden showed a short on one side. Hopefully it's just a wire
that I can push around, otherwise I need a 2KC filter or do without it.
