Voltage draw on 40-185
#3

Steve thanks for the heads up. I had replaced all the caps and double checked the ground on the e-caps. I did discover a cold solder and a bad new cap. I also discovered I had tied resister #49 to the ground at resister #59 instead of #60. Once i fixed those issues my voltages are right inline.

If I wanted to rewind #13 the RF coupler, what type of wire should I use? I have removed the wax coating and found the break in the wire, but it is so brittle that I can not splice it back together without breaking it in another spot. The radio plays with out the RF coupler in, on BC, have not really tried the SW bands yet, is the RF Coupler needed for the SW bands?
