Manual Overview

The Hammarlund HX-50 Relay Trip Modification Instructions provide detailed steps to address the issue of VOX relays “hanging up” by reducing the idling current through the relays. This modification allows the push-to-talk switch to operate against the ground. The procedure involves several steps, including unsoldering and removing specific components, such as the ground wire and capacitor from the antenna relay coil terminal. Technicians are instructed to replace certain resistors, like R152 with a 91K, 2-watt resistor, and R148 with a 1 meg, ¼-watt resistor. Additionally, new connections are made with insulated wires, and specific resistors are installed between designated pins and ground points. The instructions also include removing and relocating certain leads and capacitors, ensuring proper grounding and connection adjustments. The modification requires specific parts, including resistors with precise specifications, to ensure the successful implementation of the changes. This guide focuses on ensuring the relay operates efficiently without the previous issues of hanging up.
