K1 Problem

Glenn Haffly
K1 has a problem at J8 pin 7. Specs should be 1.6K to 1.9K.

So far have found that J8 pin 7 to ground is zero. Tried reversing test
leads and the same.
P3 is jumpered pins 1 and 2. D15 anode to ground 195 ohms. D15 cathode to
ground
98.6 K. R36 in circuit 1.96 K . R37 in circuit 1.96 K. R34 in circuit 77.3 K
.
R4 in circuit 5.4K . Pin 19 of P1 is 104.2K
All of these are with a 4 band filter removed.
This probably explained why I am unable to get a input signal from an RF
generator to
align filter board.

All other voltage and resistance checks are in specs.

Any advice of what to check next would be appreciated.

Glenn

Glenn,

About the **only** thing that can be causing everything you describe is a
simple unwanted solder bridge to ground (most likely from J8 pin 7 to pin 6)
on the circuit between J8 pin 7, J5, and P3.  Visually check closely for
such a bridge at J8, J5 (antenna), and P3 and the traces between them.  It
should be simple to fix when you find it.
