![]() I worked in imports when I first hired in 75, didn't know that many people on the US assy side except for Leonard who wore a cool jacket that had a cartoon character on the back that said "Mad Puppeteer" which might have been a CB handle. Yes, I sort of remember someone with that description. Just noticed where you worked at Pathcom. About that time, Pathcom concentrated on their marine VHF prcguy : Do you remember a tall slender guy with straw hair and a bit of handlebar moustache, worked in one of the cages ? I don't know about the base but that had the same board. My days at Pathcom ended when the 1000M lost FCC certification for excessive harmonics. Pull the final and replace with a 50 watt Motorola device, these would do 25 watt PEP out very easy. Popular mods were the clarifier for a 'slider' (?) and adding a switch to the PLL for out of band. ![]() Watch for preamp clipping too with mic gain. Now the AF out/modulator can exceed the 100% range which just makes the AM dirty, flattopping and splatter. The SSB filters were the best for the days. After balancing, a 2 tone peak adjustment. I did the biasing of the audio and full alignments. ![]() A rather well engineered radio with true high level AM. I did the post assembly alignments on the mobiles.
