TS-930 s No Receive
I powered up my old TS-930 S yesterday and there was no RX. TX
operation appears to be normal. It seems that I have lost signal somewhere between the front end and the detector. I suspect switching or something in the RF section. I have no meter readings in receive. For some reason the power supply and final fans are also not running. I think that I remember that one of those fans would come on at power up. Any ideas? Thanks.

Does the internal calibrator work?
If so check the RX antenna switch beside the coax connector. It's easy to switch it when removing or replacing the coax. Neither fan operates at turn-on, both are temperature controlled. -- Clif Holland, KA5IPF AVVid Authorized Kenwood and Icom Service Center 816 W Shady Grove Rd Irving, TX 75060 www.avvid.com 1-800-214-5779 972-870-0630 (local) "Winston" wrote in message ...

Clif, it is not the RX antenna switch. Not sure where the internal
calibrator is? I may be in Plano in the next few months. Not sure at this time. If so, and this is not resolved, I will give you a call and see if you think it is worth fixing. Great pics on your web site. Thanks. Robert, the big hammer is my second choice. Have a backup and am going to replace the rig before the next sunspot cycle arrives anyway. Would replace it now but am afraid the technology would take a light years jump in the next four years. Now if I could get a 1000d at half price, or something like that, I would reconsider.

Heck, you're even too late for the African Santa (Kwanza) and the Russian
Christmas. You do have one hope left before Christmas again... well 2 or 3 maybe. One is the Easter Bunny brings one in your basket OR maybe a birthday or anniversary - depending on when your birthday is and if you do celebrate an anniversary! So, there is still "some" hope. MNS.
