The Digital Readout of the Corsair 560 is just above the tuning knob. On this particular radio these six digits bounced around, often doubling the frequency indication. The reading was so unstable, it was difficult to know what frequency the radio was tuned to. Below is a picture of the display after the repair. It is fairly solid down to the gree

n 100 Hz digit. Once the radio is warmed up (usually about 30 minutes) the green LED digit pretty much stays put. One of the reasons the readout is so stable is that I modified the grounding inside the Digital Readout module. I did so partly to make it easier to gain access to the two circuit boards, but also I wanted to tie the two boards together in a way that would reduce RF and logic level noise.

The housing wall ground straps were removed, and a single tined braided strap added near the left edge of the board. Also re-routed is a short green grounding jumper. This replaced a longer edge routed ground jumper. The wooden dowel acts as physical support for the right edge of the board.

On the right side of the back edge of the TIME BASE 80974 Rev A board, an RF ground strap ties the two board ground references to gether in a low impeadance manner. This reduces noise, and aids stability. The other path is now a low impedance ground strap near the connector board. This is a better method of grounding for two reasons. Firstly the wide flat physical form of the ground strap is better suited...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
