My Lowe HF-225 bacame dead on all bands but MW, keypad and frequency
display are working fine, cutoff point seems to be around 3000khz, not
certain anymore, but there is a definite cutoff point in there where it
just gets quiet, which leads me to suspect input filters, coils, or
other front-end circuits. This may have been result of lightning damage.
All other functions working OK. I have the service manual with
schematics and have done some work to this radio in the past. Can you
give me any leads? I really miss ths radio. Email welcome (no spam)

Thanks,

Bob from Michigan


Bob,

I had a similar problem with an HF-225 several years ago. Turned out to
be a bad diode in the bandpass filter. Like you, MW was fine, but
anything above a certain frequency (can't recall) was shot. Hope this
helps in tracking down the problem. I'm not sure, but the Lowe website
also lists common problems and the causes on thier website on the used
equipment page...
