BULLETIN # 996
MODEL: TM-732A
SUBJECT: 2Meter Transmit Interference on 70 CM

Reports of 70 cm receiver interference might occur when transmission is 
attempted on two meters. This is caused by a harmonic relationship that 
occurs between some 2 meter frequencies and the IF image frequency. 
The resulting signal enters IC20 1 (FM HIC) on the 8R line of the 430 MHz 
TX/RX Unit.

Addition of a chip bead and bypass capacitor on the 8R line will correct 
this tendency.

Parts Required:
470 pF chip capacitor CK73FBlH471K
Chip bead L92-0131-05

Note: Don't confuse the chip capacitor with the chip bead. They have the 
same shape. The chip bead is black and the chip capacitor is brown so it 
should be a simple matter to identify the correct part.

Cut the trace on the 430 TX-RX Unit (X57-4000-XX) thats goes from R219 to
R223 (8R Line) and add the chip bead across the cut trace. Then add the chip
capacitor from the 8R line to the adjacent ground trace. Put the capacitor 
next to R219.

Time required for this modification is 30 minutes.
