I didn't really see any board number anywhere on it, but if I can locate a board number, I'll post it here on this thread. The trouble is that on AM, when receiving a strong close range signal, the meter shows only about 3-4 "S" units. The receive audio is great, clear and loud. On SSB, the meter reads as it should, with audio clear and loud. I did a receive alignment, but didn't really change anything for the meter movement on AM. Might there be a component that could be bad in the meter circuit on AM that I am overlooking? I love using this old radio, it's a nice clean vintage unit, and it talks quite nicely. The only rub is that the "S" meter reading is very "stingy" on AM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software: Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued.

To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum. The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate just purchase it.įor M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

I did the post assembly alignments on the mobiles. A rather well engineered radio with true high level AM. I did the biasing of the audio and full alignments. After balancing, a 2 tone peak adjustment. The SSB filters were the best for the days. Now the AF out/modulator can exceed the 100% range which just makes the AM dirty, flattopping and splatter. Watch for preamp clipping too with mic gain. Popular mods were the clarifier for a 'slider' (?) and adding a switch to the PLL for out of band. Pull the final and replace with a 50 watt Motorola device, these would do 25 watt PEP out very easy. My days at Pathcom ended when the 1000M lost FCC certification for excessive harmonics. 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. Just noticed where you worked at Pathcom. Yes, I sort of remember someone with that description. 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. His wife also worked on the US assembly line. I also knew Larry Hirsch or "Laslo" upstairs in engineering and also Gene Proctor. Just before I left Larry had designed a cool base station not related to any other US made radio that was AM transmit but AM/SSB receive, very unusual. It had a 25w final and a voltage regulator that you could bypass and increase power quite a bit. Larry gave me #2 prototype of that radio when I left. The design got changed slightly and I currently have the production sample they took to all the shows with a plexiglass top cover so you can see the insides. ![]() ![]() I think it still works and I should probably sell it to someone that actually cares.Ībout 7yrs later I went back to work for them in the land mobile div and at one point I was the sole repair guy for all land mobile and marine.
