[time-nuts] SR620 Failure Code.

[W2GPS]

Thanks to Jarl OZ9MO my SR620 is running fine again. He pointed me to the
manual where I found this.

 

"If the UHF prescaler of channel A is selected when the unit is powered off
and then on again, the unit will display "TEST ERROR 34". This error may be
corrected by deselecting the UHF of channel A. To run this procedure, press
input button of channel "A" until UHF is not highlighted. Then turn the
power off and on again."

 

That's just crazy, but that was the problem.

Time-nuts,

 

My SR620 has started reporting "test error 34" on power-up and will do
nothing after that. Does anyone know what that message means? I have a
reasonable lab and I would try to repair the unit myself but I have no
documentation. Is service documentation available or should I just ship it
back to Stanford Research to get fixed?
