Re: Plessey PRS2282A BPF-Change Issue
Just noticed in my first post I said the added diodes were across the relay driver devices. They aren't, they are across the caps.
I had to replace a couple of the relays in this as the contacts had gone high resistance, no difference. So will try some DC wetting and a number of coil operations for a while and see what the result of that is. Thanks for the thought. I may also remove one of the capacitors and leave the reverse diode in, see if that makes a difference. The steady reduction in the click level when a relay is operated seveal times in quick succession does have a capacitor feel about it...!
This is a really impressive HF Rx and has a much better operator feel to it than the Racal RA1792 which I have used in the past, and which is probably the same class and era. Would be good to get it running without the annoying clicking!
Cheers,
Martin
