DX 2527 Technical Update

Unfortunately, a factory error has been discovered by our technician. Several radios with serial numbers that begin with "722" have two capacitors with incorrect values :

  •  SYMPTOM -- Distorted receive on SSB
  •  PROBLEM -- C43 has a 1pF capacitor installed which should be replaced with a 10pF, and C89 has a 10pF capacitor installed which should be replaced with a 5pF.
  •  SOLUTION -- The easiest and quickest cure is to simply switch the two capacitors. Even though the schematic shows C89 as a 5pF, the 1pF works just fine. Realign L15 and L16.

     If your radio has this problem , please contact our Customer Service department. We regret any inconvenience which this may have caused and will make the necessary repairs as needed.
