HELP pls :) Harrier CB-X Channel Fault
Hi all
Any chance one of you guys can work out what this fault is with my Harrier CB X rig. I only now have 8 channels regardless of what the channel display indicates. For example channels 10-13 are ok but 14-17 become 10-13 again. Odd? Channels 25-28 become 1-3 then 40 and 29-33 become 1 & 10-13. So far i can only get channels 1-3,10-13 & 40 confused!! Ive had a root around inside and can see nothing loose or disconnected Any ideas ? Many thanks in advance -Iain -----Signatures are for humans!!------ ** Bite My Shiny Metal Ass to email ** |

Solder some thin link wire from the pins directly to the PLL chip. It will then work fine again. This is normally caused by the channel selector front panel nut coming loose and continued movement of the whole selector has broken the thin track on the main board... -- ...--- . ----- -.-- ... ..- 73/51 - Graham www.open-channel.co.uk |

Forgot to mention, may even be the odd dry or broken solder joint where the
pins from the rotary switch are soldered to the board. |

as the above post's, not to mention it's around 25 years old, so probably
old age getting the better of it..
