SP50 RX
I changed the mic jack on a SP50 UHF. Now the receive audio works, but received signals are intermittant. The problem is the heat sink. I can remove the sink and receiver is OK. I do not see anything touching. What causes this?

Re: SP50 RX
I had another one with intermittant receive and intermittant second oscillator. I resoldered all pins on U51, IFIC and it seems to have cured it. Has anyone seen this problem and found other causes?

Re: SP50 RX
Arlojanis, I've seen bad solder joints in so many different places on SP50 boards, its really pathetic. In general, anything bigger than an SMD resistor may have a bad joint. This means ICs, the antenna connector, speaker/mic connector, controls, shields, coils, etc....

Re: SP50 RX
Does anyone have a PDF service?
Got a 3 of these I would like to get back monday, so if anyone can help me locate the above discussed components.....never seen so many cold solder joints in a radio....fixed a few already, but audio is very distorted on 2 of them....thanks

Re: SP50 RX
Nick, as I said in my earlier post in this thread, check everything bigger than an SMD resistor. Pay particular attention to anything that mounts thru-hole.
