[Heath] SA-2060 tuner question

[G3OOU at aol.com]

Hi Chris
 
I have looked at the schematic for the SA2060A which is not clearly drawn  
in respect of the switch SW101. It shows that the output of the tuner is  
permanently connected to J3 (single wire) regardless of the switch position.  
This may have been a design feature or simply an error that never got  
corrected.
 
You can test this by connecting the tuner to a receiver on say 40m and  
connecting just a single wire aerial to each output socket/terminal in turn to  
see which give received signals for each position of SW101.
 
It would appear to require a relatively simple change to allow SW101 to  
select a single aerial at a time if you were willing to do that. I am only  
working from the manual as I do not have one of these tuners.
