Re: problem with my 4SQRP Ozark Patrol Radio (Fixed!)

Hi Curt,

My problem is solved. While checking voltages on R3 and the regen pot, I found 0 volts on R3. The connection between R3 and the pot was open! I ran a wire from the pot to R3 and the set came alive. Thanks so much for your help!

Herb

Just for info, my radio (which works) has following readings

1) battery voltage, at the battery +terminal, or at the top of R1 = 8.6VDC

2) voltage at the junction of R1 and R2, or at the + lead of C3 = 7.9

3) voltage at the top of the regen pot, or + terminal of C13 = 7.85

4) voltage at the junction of R3 and the regen pot (other end of the pot) = 3.64
... also check that this voltage decreases as you swing the regen pot through its range towards full clockwise
... then put the pot back to full counterclockwise for the rest of these checks

5) voltage at the R3 / R10 junction, or the base of Q1 = 0.53
