Hi:
That sounds like a cross-modulation problem, rather than images. Images would appear 910 kHz away. Cross-modulation would occur in the rf stages or in the first mixer. To determine if that is the problem, reduce the signal strength and the cross-modulation will go away. The SX-28 should not be cross-modulating under those conditions and should be able to handle fairly strong signals. Often, the culprit is that someone has modified the set for "improved sensitivity", in which case, they made changes to make the S-meter read higher. Frequently, this involves changing rf amplifier tubes from remote cutoff types to sharp cutoff types, or changing resistors or bias voltages. Check the circuit to make sure it is stock. Also, check the caps and resistors in all of the circuits, especially in the rf, mixer and avc circuits. Also, realignment of the rf stages may help, especially if the tuned circuits amplify the offending signal more than the desired one. 73, Colin K7FM |
