I have had the receivergo dead a couple of times now, I power cycled the radio and receive cane back. I too have had the issue of the receivergoing dead.
They were fun while everything worked. But when the receiver suddenly stopped working, the fun ended
They started with the station completely shutting down. Then they had to repair it by replacing the display and VFO encoder..
After 6 months I got the rig after repairs. Now everything worked for 1 week then the receiver died. Then the idea was to run the transmitter in 7610 together with an external receiver, a DRAKE R-4C. This went fine for 1 week then the transmitter also stopped working. Nothing happened when you pressed the power switch.
Now they just had to get a DRAKE T-4XB, and skip the 7610 completely. This indicates that today's technology will never be able to be called SURPLUS. They will be scrap long before this point. They feel terrible scrapping a rig that cost 38,000Kr 7 years ago. As I understand it, it seems that after a certain number of operating hours the function ceases.
. Som gammal Radio och TV tekniker ger man inte upp så lätt när man står inför ett fel problem. De värsta som kan inträffa är att VETA var felet finns , men inte kunna AVHJÄLPA.
