I’ve got on borrow a Flexradio 6600 which belongs to a fellow radio operator. He has a problem with the Network Interface Card. There could have been a possibility with all the ferrites that were placed against the ethernet cable plus movement might have contributed to possible damage.
The symptoms were disconnection of the ethernet connection making the 6600 reboot with the slightest of movement. Only to do is pull it apart and having a look.
Time to have a look internally. Thankfully the Flexradio is quite modular. There are some tidbits to remove at the rear of the radio.
The module is a Bel Magnetic Solutions 0862-1J1T-43-F
The two main boards are interconnected between an interface connection ive never seen before though the two SCU’s ) spectral capture unit’s have to be removed for the sub board can disconnect. I marked which scu was on which side.
A few screws on the main and sub board, sub board easy slide out and mainboard removed.
Was very interesting to see that this plug seems to have been hand soldered and not put on a wave.
Quality flux and solder, job done.
Re-assembled and no more disconnects. Feel free to contact me if you are curious on dissasembly etc.
