Texas Star MOD V CW Transmitter To AMP Conversion

1.
 Unsolder the wire from the key jack on the rear panel near the S0239 connector. (Antenna)
2.
 Locate the two standing capacitors (15pf and 33pf) near the relay and RF choke. Unsolder and remove the wire from the tops of the capacitors. Separate and remove the 33pf capacitor leaving the 15pf in place. Resolder the standing end of the 15pf capacitor to the adjacent pad on the board. This pad also connects to a wire from the rear panel S0239 connector (Radio).
3.

Remove the standing 33 ohm resistor (ora-ora-blk) and wire located directly behind the relay. This resistor connects to a diode adjacent to the relay.

NOTE: Some units may only have a wire without a 33 ohm resistor soldered to this point. In that case remove the wire.

4.
 Unsolder and remove the large yellow capacitor (marked 2200K) connecting the end terminal of the blue pot to the oscillator board.
5.
 Unsolder and remove the short loop of wire connecting the center of the blue pot to the outer terminal. Resolder this wire to the terminal on the blue pot where the capacitor was removed. Solder the other end of this wire to the fourth hole in the circuit board. (counting from the front panel) The wire from the center of the blue pot will now be adjacent to the wire in the fourth hole.
6.
 Unsolder and remove the oscillator board if desired.
7.
 Remove the 180pf capacitor soldered next to the 230pf silver mica capacitor at the rear of the unit.
