BC-Tune modification
The option for Auto BC-Tune between 600 and 1600 kHz.


The DC data from 13 measured frequencies is with the aid of VB software converted to a continous stream of data and later put in an EPROM.
The D/A converter now makes the correct tune Voltage.
CW (zero-)/ BFO tune is usable now in the BC range. (for DX)
A few percent of BC-Tune remains to check the auto-tune.

Rather tricky and complex modification,
NOT adviced if you are not very experienced!

Alignment (D/A-00 on 500 kHz and
D/A-FF on 1700 kHz) can only be done connected to the display inputs for the correct D/A information.

(both in new frame)
It is allways needed to adjust the high frequency tracking (1200 - 1600kHz) with 2 extra trim C's.
Sometimes it is also needed to replace all 8 diodes with 4 new duo's type BB212 for a perfect tracking.

BC_tune - Only now you can see the position of the left white and gray wire - Overthere are extra connector poles for tune voltage in and out
the wiring to those poles is on the back, so the front has to be dismanteled too
