Cause: We have found that this symptom can be caused by either improper bias to the final transistors and/or because of distortion introduced by the 73.05 MHz IF mixer circuit. Parts Required: Qty Description Kenwood Part No. Circuit Designator 3 150 ohm chip resistor RK73FB2A151J R195, R197, R198 1 4.7 Kohm chip resistor RK73FB2A472J R204 2 22 ohm carbon resistor RC05GF2H220J R19, R20 Procedure: 1. On the Final Unit (X45-3450-00) change R19 and R20 from 10 ohms to 22 ohms. (Fig. 1) 2. On the IF Unit (X48-3100-00): (Fig. 2) a. Change R195 from 56 ohms to 150 ohms b. Change R197 from 220 ohms to 150 ohms c. Change R198 from 220 ohms to 150 ohms d. Change R204 from 10K ohms to 4.7K ohms No additional adjustments or modifications will be required. Caution: This modification requires soldering equipment rated for CMOS type circuits. It also requires familiarity with surface mount soldering techniques. If you do not have the proper equipment or knowledge do not attempt this modification yourself. Seek qualified assistance. Time required for this modification is 30 minutes or less.
