rx issue
 

Denny,
I have a 945rx that is brand new, I bought it a year ago and am finally getting around to using it. Anyway, its in a model that I need all 10 channels, and I cant get a range check at all. When I take the antenna off my 10x and start walking I get 10' max before going into hold. With antenna in and all the way down, 20', full antenna, 50' tops. I changed crystals in the rx and tx, and even tried a different channel with no luck..

So today, I had a spare 649 laying here, and I put it in, now I can get over 50' with the antenna off, dont know full range, but it was 10000 times better. SO, since the RX was so old what do you think I should do with it, what can be bad in it? Will JR take care of it.

Thanks
John

It is difficult to speculate on what may be wrong with the receiver, perhaps it is a damaged crystal filter, but it does sound like it needs to come in for a check up. Outside of being sure to use the dual conversion crystals (red crystal case) for the 945, I don't have any other suggestions. JR equipment in the US carries a 3 year warranty. If you have a copy of the sales receipt, include that with the receiver. If you don't have a copy, include as much information as is possible as to where the receiver was purchased and approximately when.

Well, after thinking about your post for a bit Danny, I went and checked, yup, GREY crystal:eek: I happened to have a red case one, put it in, now Im good to go...

This is the first JR dual conversion RX I have used, so Im used to having singles laying around...

Thanks for mentioning that little detail!! Seems to have cured my problem![8D]
