Subject: [SignalOne] re mil spec 1030
Message-ID: <F7B08D21FD734ED98CB26F74C511013B@FernPC>

I recently had a pair of signal one mil spec 1030 transceivers follow me home.
I?m interested in contacting any member who has experience in working on these fine transceivers.
I couldn?t afford them when they were new in the mid ?80?s.
I was fortunate in finding the 500 hz cw filter on an epay listing recently.
I really only want of these so will be listing the second one for sale shortly.
I have all the manuals (total of five for eadh rig) done up in cerlox binding as factory manuals were done.
Is there a net where owners of the signal one transceivers meet on say 20 meters?

Subject: [SignalOne] re mil spec 1030 hf transceiver
Message-ID: <3D0CC5ADC0C7487ABFBAC85398424592@FernPC>

I recently acquired not one but two signal one mil spec 1030 transceivers. Both of them have the 200 watts output option with the twin fans.
I wonder if anyone on this list has any of the optional filters for these rigs.
I am contemplating in selling one of the 1030?s as I really only need one of them.
I managed to get the full servicing documentation and had my local print shop make up the manuals cerlox bound to look just as original manuals. I?ve actually got five different manuals for each rig. Would like to contact anyone who?s had  experience with these fine rigs.

Subject: [SignalOne] Warning about Signal/One capacitors
Message-ID: <3da03573-0bfe-5bae-fd62-f0a2d44a8f05@hamanuals.com>

Folks

I thought I'd send out a friendly warning about dying capacitors in 
Signal/One radios.  In the past several months, there have been 4 
reported cases of power supply capacitors failing and causing damage to 
the radio.

If you're lucky, the capacitor just fails and causes no problems, if 
not, damage can extend from burning PC board traces from a shorted 
capacitor to having to clean out tiny bits of a capacitor that has 
exploded.  All of which have been reported.

What this means is that the capacitors used in Signal/One radios are 
nearing the end of their useful life and should be replaced. Several of 
the list members have proactively begun to replace their PS capacitors 
while you can still purchase them.  Though not cheap, it's cheaper than 
having to rebuild the circuit board with bits of wire and epoxy and also 
having to purchase the capacitors.

I urge all of you to give some consideration to replacing your 
capacitors, if you haven't done so already.

73s

Bill,

Your message followed on the heels of a couple of Mil-Spec 1030 
posts.  Were you referring to the 1030 concerning power supply 
capacitors or the CX7/CX11 radios?  Or, just Signal One radios in general?

Thanks,

Jerry Kessler
