Title: Pye Cambridge FM10D Service Manual ?
Post by: barrds on February 09, 2022, 11:46:04 pm

Hi everyone  :)

Does anybody have a Service Manual for this old transceiver ?

Many thanks in advance.

Sorry, can't help with the manual. I did however own some PYE battery portable transceivers and the strange thing about them was that they were mostly germanium and silicon PNP transistors and the positive side of the battery pack was chassis grounded. They were on 154.XXX or somewhere in that range and were exactly on the drive-thru frequency of the McDonalds hamburgers right up the street!!!

Many thanks for the tip about the positive connected to the chassis.
Just in case you need it, I do have the manual for the AM version of the same transceiver the Pye Cambridge AM10D.
