DNT M40FM squelch stuck open

Post by LondonCbRadio »

A while ago i bought a joblot of radios that wasn't working and DNT M40FM was one of them. The fault on it is the squelch stays open even when turned all the way up. I can't find a clear diagram on this radio does anyone have any idea ?

Notorious for dry joints especially on the through hole pcb links. It will more than likely be the MC3357 if chip at fault.
My lovely boss back in the day bought a thousand of them all returns that i had to look at when no other repairs came in the door

Not all of the M40's have this modification, I have seen ones with no components on the solder side, a couple of parts and the full modification as per what Claude has posted. There are also component changes on the other side too. Just in case you have one with a different modification.

The values on a M40 I have here (which is identical to Claude's) are:

Hope this helps.
