Got my Alpha back from Dick Byrd N4UQ yesterday and boy am I a happy camper. I sent it to Dick for two reasons, first on-air reports indicated that there was a very low AC Hum, and second; I wanted Dick to re-do the 3cx800 mod. It was originally done by the previous owner who payed someone to do the mod. Anyway, Dick put it back in perfect shape. Turns out problem 1 was being caused by problem 2. Dick is an absolute Alpha Master!
I am back up and running legal limit in the bandpass mode, you gotta love that
