Watkins Johnson HF‑1000 is a desktop shortwave receiver that blends analog front‑end with DSP processing, covering 50 kHz–30 MHz and drawing ~35 W in receive mode. Common failure points for this class include power supply board degradation (over‑voltage or capacitor leakage), DSP firmware corruption or memory faults, and RF front‑end component wear such as bias tees or IF filters. First‑check diagnostics: verify mains input voltage and regulator output; inspect the main PCB for burnt or swollen capacitors and check the DSP IC for proper operation via its diagnostic LEDs or serial interface; review any stored error codes from the on‑board display or external logging system.[oss-gpt-20b] |
