Star-masterkey (mk1)
Good morning all.
I have the above cw sounder which has a problem. Has anybody got the schematic for this one, the MK1 not the MK2. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks Snowy G0HZE |

I think Dewsbury Electronics were the main importer.

Re: Star-masterkey (mk1)
Hi David
Yes they were, i still have the sticky label on the back, made a small amount of progress with it, wondered why the 40** series of i/cs had 9volts across them when they are 5volt , found out that the battery pack should be 4 x aa cells in a holder and not a 9v pp3. however i still get a continuous tone on switch on which is not controllable from the front socket when a key, either up/down or paddle type is pluged in.

Re: Star-masterkey (mk1)
CMOS 4xxx series logic should work on anything between 3 to 15 volts.
