Jim,

No first hand experience but if you go to BAMA ( bama.sbc.edu ) and download
the SB-101 technical description (it is in deja vu format) you will find the
LMO schematic on Heath manual page 151 (deja vu page 35). A description of
the function is found on Heath manual page 132 (deja vu page 14). Then if
you download the SB-100 alignment instructions, again from BAMA, you will
find a short instruction on adjusting the frequency shift control of the LMO
in the SB-100 alignment proceedures. This is all for the 6CB8 tube
version.

If you go to
http://www.qsl.net/k5bcq/sb104/sb104.html you can find a great
Adobe Acrobat schematic of the SB-104A that includes a solid state LMO
schematic including the plug pinout. I have a separate JPEG of the LMO
clipped from this schematic if you have trouble. Whole schematic is 1.45
MB. JPEG is 640kB.

Hope that helps.

Hello..
I have been looking 'high and low' for a copy of the LMO
schematic for the SB line of radios. I tried all of the Heath forums
that I am aware of. Does anyone know where there exists (not BAMA)
a schematic of the solid state (heck, I would take the tube version)
version of the LMO. I would have thought that after all these years
someone would show up with a copy of the schematic as well as the
alignment instructions. I realize that Heath never made public this
information, but I would have figured somebody would have reverse
engineered these units and documented what he/she discovered.
If I had a dead unit, I would take on the challeng and make
public my findings.

Anyone with any knowledge regarding aligning the units?

Thanks..

By the way..
The SB104 used a less expensive LMO due to the fact that there was
no need for a linear tuning characteristic. This is because having a
digital readout meant that it wasn't necessary..
