Right here :

Lon's update...does this adjustment for the mic amp gain apply to the older S-9's?
And what about the audio level, VR14 I believe is what he said, does that apply to the older ones too? |

Therealporkchop,
From the UPDATE I posted from Sam Lewis it states it was for the NEWER Magnum S-6 Radio's:
MAGNUM S-6
Owners Manual Addendum
December 2005
The older S-9 radios did not have the ERF-2030 MOSFET RF Power Transistor's.
Hope this help's,
Lon

Mine doesn't have the new MOSFET's, not yet anyway.
Is there anywhere that has alignment instructions and board layout for this radio? The usual place isn't showing anything, and the Galaxy 88 is similiar, but not the same.
Which brings me to a question. Mine is slightly out of alignment, not real bad, but off a little. When you align the transmitter, on the freq counter would you want the output, let's use channel 1 for example, 26.965. Would you want it to be 26.9650 or 26.96555 ?
I don't mean the built in one either either, I'm talking about an external. I went with 5 for the last digits.
Here is what controls what, atleast in the model I have...
VR14 - AM Modulation
VR16 - Low Power
VR13 - High Power
VR12 - ALC
VR1 - RX Meter (AM/FM)
VR2 - RX Meter - SSB
VR3 - SSB Squelch
VR4 - AM/FM Squelch
VR4a - RF Gain Control
VR5 - FM Deviation
VR7 - Carrier Balance
VR8 - S-Meter TX
VR10 - Final Bias
VR11 - Driver Bias
VR20 - Final Bias
ECHO BOARD ADJUSTMENTS
VR1 - Gain (TX Audio)
VR2 - Intensity (Echo DUration)
SWR BOARD ADJUSTMENTS
VR1 - Alert Threshold
FREQUENCY COUNTER / MCU BOARD
C105 - Counter Adjustment
COILS
TX - L18,L40,L42,L43,L44
RX - (ALL MODES) L6,L7,L8,L10,L12
RX SSB - L13,L14
RX AM - L3,L4
RX FM - L5
NB - L1,L2
CARRIER OSC - AM=L26, USB - L27 LSB - L28
FREQUENCY ADJUSTMENT AM - L19, USB - L27, LSB - L21
MIXER GAIN - L22
Maybe some of this is new and not a reposted deal. |

Therealporkchop. use 0 and not 5
your counter should read 26.9650.
I did a complete alignment to my S9 and used the Gallaxy 88 instructions, they were accurate.
just make sure you turn the radio and external frequency counter on for at least 2 hours before you begin.
This is let things stabilize.
Do pll alignment first then receiver then transmit. and remember to take out mirror board before alignment. |

Try the Modification List located to the left of the forum here.
I posted all of the information last year that I received from Sam Lewis on the S-9 in the Modification List for the Copper Forum Member's.
It will show a few alignment location's that are missing from the above information.
Hope this help's,
Lon

Where's the PLL in this radio? I don't see it in the normal place you usually look. I aligned mine to 5 and not 0, so I guess maybe I better go back and re-do it. I will have to say that it receives better and seems to have cut some of my A/C blower noise out, not a lot, but a little bit.
I'll check it out Lon, thanks. |
