Well done, Julian! I have replaced 455kHz NFM filter with a sharper slopes one, haven't done much testing either. Leo

Here is some final feedback. Applied this mod ( link ). All is fine now. Strong audio on all VFO-s all modes (FM, NFM). I haven't got the eqp to actually measure anything (uV, dBm etc) , only by smell

Hi agn. Found a bit of a free time tdy and managed to complete the cap job (I still need to put together the TM-D710). Here are some pics. Hot air didn't work in the end, I believe I covered too much

Noted. Tnx.

Thanks. I'll keep that one at the top of the lookout list.

Also, one can obtain a Kenwood commercial microphone which results in excellent audio.

If you can find a Motorola HMN3596A palm mic, and re-do the pinout for the Kenwood you will have the finest mobile microphone. Regards, Phil / K4PO

0201. Don't even go there! Thanks Leo. Let me see how I will be getting on with this one. For me it is also a bit of a challenge/hobby. I like to do this sort of things myself (within limits...). I

If you are struggling, send the PCB over and I will put in for you. I am in Silverstone. I have 0402 caps. The smallest caps I have manually worked with are 0201 - they love falling down PCB vias,

That's true. You mean my lab floor... He he he. I did try the iron, but it's bk to sq 1. Either way, you have got to hold down the SMD. With the iron the SMD gets sucked onto its surface. It's also a

I keep the stock microphone connected because it has the DTMF keypad which, of course, doubles as a miniature control device. However, as we all know, it's not the greatest microphone on earth. I'm

An ordinary soldering iron is just fine for SMD parts and you don't risk blowing the part into your carpet. :) 73 -Jim NU0C "Julian" <iulianp@...> wrote:

Hi Leo. Tnx for info. I have managed to decode what type of cap is, ceramic multilayer, ±5%, SMD 0402. 56pF, 50V. I have done few trials on a test board and successfully soldered few caps of this

Julian, Have you fixed it yet? It's a cap that passes IF 455/450kHz to the detector so not really "RF" or a critical value. Leo

Hi, I have manage to successfully change the ceramic filters on my TM-D710E, but I knocked off C509 in the process. It's way too tiny for my soldering skills and tools so, I was wondering if anyone

Hello everyone. I am an Italian ham IW1GK . I have a problem with my TM-D700 G2. Unfortunately it stopped working and I found the cause in the display . I am 99% sure that the defect lies in the

Jess, Assume you checked the power source including possible fuse condition to include fuse holder corrosion. These rigs are aging, so look for these things first. If the head is remoted? Those

Did you check the fuse inside of the control head (F902)? I've attached a file I found in my collection of D700 documents that might be helpful. Good luck 73 Randy

I was listening to a repeater on my D700, walked out of the room and came back and it was off. I tried turning it back on and the screen flashed some black momentarily but nothing else happened. No

Still does not work. I have tried earlier versions of Operation Panel and MCP-2A Checked Data cable is good but have no audio from TM-D710 feeding EchoLink Sysop. I believe once MCP full reset after
