Sometimes this is caused by the SL560C RF amplifier losing its ability to amplify. It is much like the degradation of the MAR-4 in a Moseley 6000 series transmitter. The problem here is that the TO99 can version of the SL560C sells for about $70 and you can&#8217;t be sure what you get isn&#8217;t a fake. The 8 pin DIP package of the same thing is about $9. If only there was a way to make that fit. There is. I found a guy in Texas that makes a 8pin DIP to TO99 adapter for about $3 plus shipping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am happy to say that the replacement worked and it cost a lot less than the can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230125_110233-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230125_110233-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230125_110233-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230125_110233-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230125_110233-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230125_110233-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>TO99 can case of the SL560C  Expensive <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230114_163757-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230114_163757-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230114_163757-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230114_163757-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230114_163757-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230114_163757-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>8 Pin DIP to TO99 Can adapter<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get the adapter at <a href=\"http:\/\/cimarrontechnology.com\">http:\/\/cimarrontechnology.com<\/a>  He has others too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230117_134619-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230117_134619-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230117_134619-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230117_134619-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230117_134619-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aervblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/20230117_134619-1-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>The adapter is pin for pin.
