Default Re: Harvard H407 CB RX audio problem

My advice on the way forward would be to slow down and try and fix this radio in slow time. Even if that means fixing it later in the year. Otherwise you could end up throwing loads of time and money at something you don't really need once it finally gets fixed.

My advice on a frequency counter would be to be patient and buy an old used counter from one of the big names like Racal or Philips or maybe HP. Definitely buy something with an external reference option on the rear panel.

Otherwise there are new entry level counters available on ebay for similar money that you can buy straight away. Eg the VC3165 seems to be very popular. But I wouldn't want one. I'd rather take a chance and buy a top brand used counter. The prices seem to vary, I wouldn't want to pay more than £50 for a used counter if it was just going to be used for old school CB and ham stuff. If you are patient you will find one for much less money.
