To remove a memory channel in Maycom AR-108
This function is not described in any handbook.
To remove a no longer used (or a channel programmed by mistake), you do not have to perform a reset, which kills all the programmed functions. Do as follows:
When not in Memory Mode already, press the MR button. Select the channel to be removed by using the UP / DN switches. Press and hold the FUNC button and then press MR. The memory channel number starts blinking. To clear the channel, press and hold the FUNC switch while you press the MON switch for about 2 seconds. A beep tone indicates the successful deletion.
The transmitter power in Zodiac M-4040 slowly vanishes? Is there anything to be done about it?
This phenomnenon has a cure. You don't have to give up your Zodiac M-4040 just because of this problem. But it is necessary to send us your transceiver as a Communication Test Set is needed for this repair.
After repair your M-4040 works like it once did when you bought it!
Modulation problems in Zodiac M-244:
Reports on trouble with the modulation in M-244 have been reported. Mostly can this be traced to the relatively slow
rolloff characteristics of the limiter circuit. The remedy is just to change the 10 Mohm resistor (R 75) in the limiter
discharge circuit by a 470 kohm resistor, and the modulation sensitivity recovers much quicker.
Noise from the loudspeaker in Zodiac M-244 in squelched position:
You could probably cure this problem yourself. Nothing will be changed to the set itself, just a re-location of the channel selector cables.
At the front of the set there are two flat cables running from the channel selector. These run parallel to the audio cable to the speaker amplifier, and when they are too close to each other, noise could stray into the amplifier. Simply bend these flat cables slightly inward towards the middle of the set. In most cases this will cure the problem.
In case the noise still persists, you will have to send your M-244 to us, and we will cure it properly for you.
Sounds like you fire a machine gun when changing channels in Zodiac M-244?
The solution to this problem is most probably the replacement of the channel selector. You can order the channel selector from us at any time.
Programming list, Zodiac M-244 priority channels:
Any channel from 1 to 40 can be programmed. Please keep in mind that the channel 40 equals the value "0" and therefore this channel position requires no diode array. (In the Swiss and German versions this
could be the case in the position "B".)
Please compare one of the arrays installed with corresponding channel number in the list below. Then bend the pins of the array corresponding to the channel of your choice.
Please remember that you cannot get any other channels than the legal 40 CB channels.
In case of programming an illegal channel you will either get channel 9 or 19.
