Conversions may have screwed this up so you may have to trace it out. Then also use a T/R switch at the antenna input unless you are using separate antennas.

Pins 2 and 6 of the power connector are shorted, normally with a relay. This applies SG voltage to 2nd RF amp and 1st and 2nd IF amps. Mine is a 348Q. the J, N, and Q are about the same; covered in the same manual. I have the manual in .pdf if you need it. 7.48 MB. |
