Ham Radio Teardown with Derek from DC To Daylight! -- The Electronics Inside 56

I'm sure lots of people may wonder what's inside a HAM Radio. However if you are like me, you may wonder what specifically is a HAM Radio? What makes it different from other technologies? When you have so many questions, it's best to phone a friend!

A trip down nostalgia lane. Started my electronic career in 1981 working in an RF environment. A lot of the equipment was tubes that were being phased out for solid-state electronics. Discrete components and cable harness...it has been a long time. Thanks for the posting.

My pleasure, although I have to give most of the credit to Derek for helping me source and understand the thing!

If I recall correctly the layout of the boards would have provided some isolation for the different types of circuits. Transmit, receive, oscillators, amplifiers, audio... I have forgotten way more than I have retained. It was enjoyable to watch.

I'm curious was the unit serviceable before the teardown? I suspect most of your teardowns are not working.

I very deliberately seek non functional units. It removes the guilt if I can't or don't reassemble them afterwards.

Wth that said, is anyone needs any parts, I'm sure we can make a delivery happen!
