RX-320 Dead again
 
Hello,

I have an RX-320 and It's been in for repair once because it wouldn't
receive anything, they replaced the FETs. I hadn't used it much for about a
year now, but I think the FET(s) are out again. The 10KW station about 3
miles away barely comes in and that's all that comes in. Has anyone put
together a repair procedure, possibly so I can fix this myself vs. sending
it into Ten-Tec again? I got quite good at replacing the FET in my RS
DX-390. 5 minutes and $1.00 later I was in business again. Is it this simple
with the RX-320?

Any input would be appreciated.

Regards,
Don

If you get a schematic for it and can idenify what part it is, you should be
able to do this yourself. If I were you, my biggest concern would be finding
out why you keep zapping things.

At one time (several years ago) TenTec was installing a resistor across the
antenna to ground on the RX320 receivers of individuals who were having this
problem. RM~
