Patrolman 6.......the inside story.......


The interesting thing about the circuit of the receiver the lack of IC's, there are only Two.....the rest of the circuit is discrete ......that shows the bulk of the design of the radio was probably Ten years old when this radio was new in 1977.
The VHF HI band has a bit of a problem with (i think) AFC making it hard to tune signals in........i will have to poke around a bit, see if i can cure it......
Notice the liberal use of wax to stop settings drifting......its all over the place.......and one things for sure.....it seems to work....
