Default Huntron Tracker 1005B ?


I agree it's pretty simple but a little correct info would go a long way!
I don't know what high med and low pushbuttons are supposed to do?
I just tweeked a few unlabeled pots carefully to see what effect they
had....
And adjusted some that had the "right" effect...
With nothing connected I now get a horizontal line on high and med but a 60
degree slanted one on low!
With leads shorted I get a nearly vertical line on high, med and low!
A 22mf cap gives a decent circle on high and med but a 60 deg. slant line on
low..
A diode gives an L on high and med but a V on low...
So if you can tell me what high, med ane low are supposed to do I might be
able to adjust or fix it.
t5nx

Hi Hank,

How do you know your unit is out of alignment? They have virtually
nothing inside them that matters. If an open gives you a vertical
line, and a short gives you a horizontal, (45 degree on LOW) line, and
a diode gives you an "L", and a cap an "O", you are as good as it gets.

I would bet that your unit has the same pots in just about the same
locations as all of the 1005's.

Also, the 1005 is *supposed* to have the short circuit trace at a 45
degree angle when in the LOW position.

I have the manuals for my 1005, but it is a 1005B1S prefix 21F. The
manuals have enough staple bound, double sided pages that it would
cost me alot of time, and nearly $50 to xerox at the local Staples.

Sometimes, you have to look beyond the "market value" of an instrument
and see what the instrument will do for you that is of value. My
Huntron has paid for itself 1000 times over. I paid full freight for
my manuals from Huntron.

units with serial number prefixes. Mine is an older unit without any
prefixes and I wonder if anyone might have those instructions and

perhaps a
manual copy?
