User Define Charts
As I cannot supply you with schematics or owners manuals for these sets (sorry). I do have the user define function lists for the NRD-525, NRD-535 and of course the NRD-545. So if you scare up one of these sets up in the used market and have no manual, at least you will have this information via my piles of papers. ..DaveZ.

JRC NRD-535 "CDC-493AD
CPU Board" Resistor Jumpers (this chart via n9ewo) |
RJ0 |
Removing this jumper changes the bandwidth selector switch so that the filter in the "Aux" spot is selected to the "Narrow" spot, and the "Narrow" to the "Aux" (A Flip-Flop). |
RJ1 |
Not Installed in USA version (No Jumper), Unknown |
RJ2 |
Not Installed in USA version (No Jumper), Unknown |
RJ3 |
Unknown |
RJ4 |
Unknown |
RJ5 |
Alt "FREQ" button. Normally frequency selected during "CHAN" mode remains on display after "FREQ" button is used. Remove this jumper and previous frequency will re-appear when "FREQ" button is hit. |
RJ6 |
AGC "OFF" bypass. When removed , will ONLY be able to select AGC FAST and SLOW. Will be unable to select AGC OFF. |
