Marconi 2022C off frequency
Hi
I have just bought a Marconi 2022C, worked OK when it arrived. I was about to use it in anger and suddenly all frequencies below 62.5MHz are way way off (and not stable) that keyed in and displayed on the front panel. I have looked at various other threads on the forum, and the suggestion is that IC2 (OM345) had died. Is there an easy way of confirming this before I dive in with soldering iron etc. (There are two sellers of these on eBay, has anyone used either of them ?) Cheers Richard |

Yup, measure across all of the pins of the device to ground, if more than one of them shows around 7vdc it is toast

Re: Marconi 2022C off frequency
Hi
All now working again. IC2 had failed, just replaced this with a mmic based one and all is OK . No need to re-calibrate as this is in the PLL circuit Cheers Richard m0ysr |
