BULLETIN # 984
MODEL: TS-950S/SD
SUBJECT: 80 METER SPURIOUS EMISSION

Some TS-950SD owners have reported a transmit spurious emission between 
3.500MHz and 3.520MHz. This modification will reduce the spurious 
emission to -65dB.

REQUIRED PARTS:

10pF CAPACITOR		CC73FCH1H100J		QTY.	1
16pF CAPACITOR		CC73FCH1H160J		QTY.	1
12uH COIL		L40-1201-17		QTY.	1
2.6X4MM SCREWS		N09-0650-05		QTY.	4


1. Disconnect the power cord and antenna.

2. Remove the top and bottom covers (18 screws).

3. Open the subchassis to expose the PLL board (Figures 1-3). To open 
   the subchassis remove 4 top screws, remove 3 back panel screws, and 
   unplug the RX ANT OUT and DRIVE IN connectors.

   Figure 3

5. Close the subchassis and secure it with the screws removed in step 3.

6. Locate the A.F. board on the bottom of the transceiver. Figure 4

7. Remove the board's mounting screws and disconnect the necessary 
   connectors to expose the bottom of the board.

8. Locate the foil pattern area shown in Figure 5. This area is below IC11.

9. Cut the foil pattern and add the components shown in Figure 6.
