                                    Sheet Metal Screws Will Not Tighten

If the perforated covers will not secure properly due to enlarged sheet
metal holes, install a 6-32 speednut [PN 252-22] over the lip and
surrounding hold.  The 6-32 X 3/8" sheet metal screw [PN 250-8] will then
tighten securely.

Using the speednuts does not noticeable degrade the products' shielding
capabilities.

                            Interfacing the Linear to Kenwood Exciters

The ALC voltage to Kenwood transceivers and transmitters should not
exceed -8 volts.  To Ensure the proper voltage to the Kenwood, add:

An 8 volt zener diode [PN 56-621] across the ALC connector on the back of
the amplifier.  Connect the banded end of the diode to the ground lug.

Adding a control in the ALC line (as instructed in previous bulletins) to
control the level of ALC voltage doesn't always work.  This control loads
the ALC line so much that very little ALC voltage is developed, resulting
in the exiter overdriving the linear,  In units which have the control
installed and the operation is still unsatisfactory, return the ALC
circuit to its original design and install the zener diode.

Thats everything I hold up to 1989 that covers the SB-201.  Enjoy!

I will be able to get them and 'fill in the blanks' for us all.]]]
