More info.
You could say that this is the drowning man clutching at the last straw.
I have measured the resistance at the point in the center of the tuning core slug to chassis of all coils.
The resistance of the 4 slugs of the osc coils bands 3,4,5 & 6 measure greater than 2meg
The resistance of all other slugs including the RF ones measure between 40k and 250k.
Although the band 3 osc runs over the whole band the amplitude is greatly reduced.
Has anyone out there got an AR88 to measure the slug resistances?
My pal is going on holiday this week so it will be 2 weeks before I can get to his AR88.
I used my Avo 8 on the high res range.
Any comments on this?
john.
