ReVoX B215, the best Tape-corder ever built, recap and repair
I purchased this amazing tape deck around 25 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed using it. However, last autumn, it ceased functioning, prompting me to repair it. I am now in the process of replacing all the old capacitors to check if the ReVoX B215 will operate once more. Additionally, I have acquired some refurbished recording and playback PCBs. It promises to be an exciting project, especially alongside refurbishing all the CB radios I still have. Wishing everyone a pleasant weekend. Best 73

27.155 MHz QRP-SSB DX on 22nd of June 1984 (exclusively in German slang).
zhlédnutí 134Před 4 měsíci
Today is another remarkable day. In my cellar, I discovered an old reel-to-reel tape containing CB QSOs from the early '80s. It dates back to the era when CB expanded to 22 channels AM/FM/SSB. With just 500 milliwatts (0.5W) of power, I managed numerous CB contacts outside Switzerland. On this 22nd of June 1984, I attempted to make a DX on CH16-SSB, aiming towards northern Germany.

    Zodiac P6002 has a 240 mW transmitter but the antenna power is 100 mW, similarly the P2012 approved as a CB radio has a 240 mW transmitter but 100 mW in the antenna, the radiated power is 7 mW. Both radios are in the 2W "Input Power" standard, which allows up to 0.5W of output power, but this is only a limit, not a requirement. Zodiac P3003 has about 1W, but the recommendation was for the service technician to reduce this power to 0.5W by detuning the transmitter filter (for Switzerland). P2003 (about 0.5 - 0.8 W) worked better - modulation was better due to lower load on the power stage. Native design, the modulator was designed for 0.5 W transmitter power, P3003 overloaded the modulator, this was done to improve sales, but the radio worked worse than P2003) All standards were measured for 12.6V power supply, 13.8V voltage prohibited. The first Sommerkamp has 2.5 to 3.5 W output power and 5 W in the "Input Power" standard. Licensed by Tokai. The P2040 has 7 W "Input Power" and 2 W output power. Shinwa has a manufacturing defect, all units had damaged displays (lack of funds). The transmitter power is 1.2 W for 10.8 V power supply. It did not meet Swiss standards when starting the transmitter and generated incorrect signals frequencies (lack of funds). Soon he falls. Zodiac 5024 and 5012 are 5W of the "Input Power" standard and 2.5 - 3.5 W of output power for 12.6 V power supply. I don't know the Tokai model number. This was the period before the collapse of Tokai, so 1971-1973. These radios had between 0.25 W and 0.8 W but their receivers were better than Zodiac. They also had better modulation due to lower modulator load. very old Tokai - the gray ones with plastic knobs (e.g. TC-130G, TC-500G), were very unreliable due to the germanium transistors. Japan was a very poor country, so she worked very hard for very little money. The Japanese did not buy such devices, they were too poor, they could not afford it, it was a product only for export. In Japan, vouchers were given to buy a TV. Japan became rich in the 1980s, where robots and computer design came to help at work, and all small companies like Zodiac and Tokai went bankrupt. Only large companies such as Sony, etc., financially supported by the USA, survived. Good luck.

      Hello my ZODIAC friend Arkadius, thank you again for your contribution about the wonderful and indestructible handheld radios from the 70s. In Switzerland, we could operate with a maximum of 3.5 watts in the CB range (34 channels) in the early 70s. Business radio frequencies shared these channels with the CB radio range. The severe restrictions on the CB radio hobby began in 1977. From this date, no radios that were not portable were allowed to be operated. The maximum ERP power was reduced to 100 milliwatts. External antennas, external microphones and network devices were prohibited. From 1977 to December 31, 1981, I had to indulge in the CB radio hobby. But from January 1, 1982, new CB radio regulations were issued throughout Europe. From then on we were allowed to broadcast on 22 channels on AM/FM/SSB with 500 milliwatts of transmission power. Home stations and external stations were allowed again. From January 1st, 1984, it was possible to broadcast in Switzerland with 40 FM channels (4 watts). At the same time, a new frequency range with 934 MHz was introduced into high-quality radio technology.... I wish you and your family a nice Sunday.

Ces transistors continuent de tomber en panne car ils ont environ 45 ans et se court-circuitent soudainement en raison de la diffusion de chaleur. Ils sont donc défectueux. J'espère avoir pu vous aider. Je te souhaite une bonne semaine.

    Hallo Swizzradios, Ist Ihnen bekannt, ob für das MK III eine Abgleichanleitung existiert? Ich "darf" die Geräte meiner Kollegen aufarbeiten, doch ausser dem Schema finde ich nichts im Web. Ist wohl zu speziell. Ich habe Positions- und Stücklisten erstellt, und alle Elkos ersetzt. Aber das hier ist nicht mein gelernter Beruf und ich hänge etwas in der Luft. Danke für Ihre tollen Beiträge!🙏

    • @SWIZZRADIOS
      @SWIZZRADIOS Před 4 měsíci

      Hallo lieber CB-Freund Fredo, vielen Dank für deinen Besuch auf meinem Kanal. Leider bin ich auch noch nicht zu einer Abgleichanleitung gekommen. Diese gibt es wahrscheinlich überhaupt nicht. Das Gerät wurde ja nur für die Schweiz gebaut und auch nur hier vertrieben. Die französische PRESIDENT JACK (nicht Jackson) ist da schon etwas ähnlicher und basiert so zwischen der PRESIDENT Mc Kinley-DX und der SCB MK3. Wenn die ELKOS ersetzt wurden, ist dies schon mal gut. Die SSB Modulation bringt man nicht richtig hin. Diese war schon immer eher schlecht. Wenn man jedoch den Bias des Endstufentransistors (TR543 / 2SC1957) erhöht, wird es wesentlich besser. Dies erreicht man, wenn VR9 (300 Ohm) durch ein 1kOhm Poti ersetzt wird. Der Basisstrom soll ca. 30% höher sein, bzw., die Basisspannung auf ca. 0,8 Volt erhöht werden. Der Transistor erwärmt sich dann aber im Sendemodus wesentlicher. Der Basisstrom sollte aber nicht zu hoch ausfallen, da sich sonst der TR543 zu stark erwärmen könnte und durchbrennt. Ich hoffe, dass ich dir etwas helfen konnte. Es ist schon etwa 7 Jahre her, als ich die letzte MK3 etwas aufgemotzt hatte. Ein schönes Weekend wünsche ich dir. Gruss aus dem Zürcher Oberland. Vy 73, Stefan.

Zwar nur mit 500 Milliwatt von Kanal 1 bis 22. Der Kanal 16 USB, war in HB9 der Anrufkanal. Da habe ich auch noch ein QSO von dieser Zeit auf Kassette. Ein schönes Wochenende wünsche ich dir.

C'est une tentative qui a eu lieu il y a environ 10 ans. En réalité, ces MOSFET dégagent beaucoup trop de chaleur, ce qui provoque une surchauffe de l'appareil. J'y ai réinstallé les transistors 2SC1969. J'étais donc à nouveau heureux. Je vous souhaite un bon week-end.
