Boys and girls,
the Paragon project I picked up at Dayton is coming to a end.
Got the display working, the PA is now doing 100 watts on all bands. Audio on
SSB is now fine.
but there is one nagging problem I can't seem to locate----it's the AM rec
It does rec AM, but the signal is quite a bit lower than on SSB
tune in WWV at 10.000
On AM, very little signal, won't move the s-meter
On USB/LSB 20+ on the s-meter
The 4066 is working, there's not much coming into it in the AM mode
Pulled the IF/AF board, checked the AM IF and DET transistors, all just fine.
while I was at it, I put in a new 10 mfd cap in the slow AGC circuit as well.
I can't seem to find a fault, so I'm wonder, is this the way the paragon works
on AM? Doesn't seem right to me.
Any ideas or feedback would be welcome
mike, wb8vge
