What can I do to adjust the frequency counter on the radio so when both clarifiers are at 12 o clock the counters last digit is 0? |

well first of all ya need an external freq. counter perferbly 7digits cause radio might be right on and the display on radio maybe wrong or visa versa.but ya need an external counter that plugs in thru your coax.also ive seen radios that were off when first turned on but after a 20min warm up they were fine.this maybe the case
also |

Donald,
Never seen the inside of one or used one but if it has the MC145106 PLL try VR7
Connect Frequency counter to TP3 and adjust VR7 with your clarifier set at 12 oclock in USB/LSB mode NOT AM or FM and adjust until both TX and RX are the same.
Hope this help's,
Lon

Donald,
Sorry but no other idea's.
I have never used, owned, worked on or had any experience with any Connex radio as yet.
Maybe one of the Connex owner's in the Forum will read this and have some helpful information.

Donald,
You can contact the Copper Tech by sending an e-mail to:
paulm@iglou.com
GOOD LUCK as I have only had one e-mail from him in the last 4 years as he just is not a computer person.
BEST BET! is to call Copper at:1-800-626-6343 and ask for the Copper Tech Monday thru Friday before Noon.
Hope this help's,
Lon
