This is a common problem. In many cases, if you remove the cover the problem will go away. The final stage is going into oscillation and the "carrier" you see is that oscillation. Usually (and unfortunately) the oscillation falls in the 29 Mhz area. Sometimes this problem is caused by added mods that people add to try to squeeze a few more watts out of it. There are added capacitors on the bottom side of the board that can cause this. If you see an extra cap (or two in parallel) on the underside of the board connected to the final, remove it and that should cure your problem. You nailed it on the head. Cover off, oscillation gone. Now I have to isolate it. Vinnie S. Rebias the output. Damn !!!! I was hoping I didn't have to use a DMM. The DMM I have doesn't have current measurements. Well, it's not mine. Mine was actually (Fluke 77). stolen. I have a scope, and freq counter. But to way to adjust bias current. I will ne to get a hold of another DMM. Vinnie S. |

I have seen the same situation you are describing in a 2510. The guy never used it SSB, and it worked fine on AM. He later sold it to someone who did use SSB. Turned out the "Tech" who did the frequency mod on the radio was also asked to tune it for maximum. He did so, but never noticed it went into oscillation on SSB. After resetting the bias to the correct level, the problem went away. Hope this helps. |
