PK232.3 From: K4ON @ WB4GHL Subject: PK-232 Modification... The following might interest you (copied from K5FL MSO on RTTY): The following information was received from Wolf, ZS6AQC, concerning new Eproms for the PK-232 PAKRATT, plus a modification to eliminate noise from the op-amps. On recommendation of OM Piet, ZS6AQC I checked the noise in the power bus to the MC34074P op-amps and found (just like he said) that there is a lot of rubbish between the pins 4 and 11 of U23, 26, 28,30, 32 and 34. So, I placed some 1 microFarad caps across them and my receive noise is much less (measured on a mark=space scope cross display). In fact, I can now even copy some steady signals that don't even raise the S-meter needle. Hope you can improve yours also? This was received from OD5NG: he made this mod and resulsts were outstanding. CONTINUED IN FILE PK232.18
