RX mode to galaxy DX88

#357649

Post by SPUDGUN »

I want to replace the Schottky Diodes & 2SC2999 in my Galaxy DX88.

My problem is the instructions found on the internet state you need to replace 4 diodes and 1 NPN transistor (TR18) my PCB EPT360014C schematic shows TR18 (the 1st RX mixer) is a N-JFET (J310).

I did this mod on my Cobra 148GTL (old model) and it worked great.

Am I looking at the wrong transistor?

Thanks, I think the link I found on the internet may have listed the diodes and transistors wrong.

It didnt seem right when I looked at it.

Thanks for your input..
