Unfortunately, it's not repeatable, so I cannot find a specific device to repair/replace. I replaced the surface mount quad diode array, and it seemed better for a time, but then went wonky again. I hate intermittent problems...<br />Also, I hope it is not just a shielding issue; 100KW right on my IF is going to be a tough nut to crack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-14040456663629943902015-02-13T20:18:32.053-05:002015-02-13T20:18:32.053-05:00Steve: Sometimes a strong station will just jump r...Steve: Sometimes a strong station will just jump right into the IF. I had a superhet with a 3.579 IF. I could hear evangelical stations AND W1AW CW. Sometimes things get better when you put the receiver in a metal box and tighten up the shielding.<br /><br />73 Bill Bill Mearahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07662500663603350847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7590176649168185428.post-78452160454188592352015-02-13T14:20:09.873-05:002015-02-13T14:20:09.873-05:00Great resource!

I'm getting a 9.035 MHz shortwave station bleeding into the IF amp. (I'm using a 9 MHz IF, since I was able to get some crystal filters). I know it's a mixer problem, but they are pretty simple, and I can't see where I went wrong. Short in the diodes, maybe?<br />Anyway, thanks again for the reference material!<br />73,<br />Steve <br />W1KFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
