#32 Random ham radio repair Kenwood TM-621A no 220 MHz RX
« on: March 02, 2016, 11:27:37 am »

In this video we take a look at another 621 with no 220 MHz receive all the way from Manchester Maryland. We do not have

any service info for the 220 band board so we go to the white board and draw it out. Links below

hehe, but it's cool to see how it's done in such detail, people that are learning how to solder can get a huge benefit from that, as the troubleshooting itself, and as reference, soon you will have a crowded channel, you will see :)

For me that is what it is all about. helping folks that are just starting out.  One reason why I try and keep things simple without throwing out all the technical stuff.  When I first started out many years ago there was no internet, heck not even computers for the public lol. I had to learn from thrown out magazines and what ever books I could find.

Thanks for the support Roberto
