Out of Production Hardware / Re: Huntron Protrack KJ2

Yeah, I got kj3 and kj4, both have the same exact settings.

I know about user custom settings, but you can't choose your old resistance setting. The choices are tge resistances that are already there. Right?
Or am I able to let's say 133 ohms?

I thought I saw it in the 1st post videos. and also saw other resistance values that I can not get on my Huntron kj4 or kj3. can someone explain please. was KJ2 setup with different resistance values and or were they user settable? 

As far as I recall, all ProTracks had the same range capabilities. The KJ3 may have had some different preset range combinations requested by the US Navy. All ProTracks had the ability for users to set custom range combinations as well as some preset ones (i.e. SMT, CAPS, TTL, etc.).

The minimum resistance setting at 20V is 20kohms.

Did I see it correctly, I thought I saw the resistance set at 0 OHM at 20 V, in the video. Did I see that correctly.
Is there a "0" ohms setting on protrack kj2. And Set it at 20v???
I took a screen shot of it freezes framed. But don't see where I can up load pictures.

you might be better off purchasing 1 or 2 of those non functioning Protracks on eBay. all of them have the main board included.

Out of Production Hardware / ProTrack I model 20 problem (...

Last post by Paula Silva - September 18, 2025, 02:41:16 AM

Hello, everyone.

My KJ3 ProTracker, PCB version 07-7782 rev.C was behaving excellent, until... The back fan broke, I haven't noticed it and now it flashes both red leds, no display, no LCD, and gives me the audible "message" of overcurrent (i think).

Once I put 220V AC    on the A channel, of course it broke and burned some components inside (at least two relays and resistors R87, R88 and R133, already replaced by me), but it didn't resolve the problem, so I was forced to use the B channel;

Some time later the LCD started to change contrast at power-up, but I could revert it to good thru menu settings;

Now, after the fan broke, it probably got thermal shock and broke some other components...

Heres´s something I found, searching for the problem (I'm using the schematics for a ProTracker I 06-3090 rev. C version):

I have a thermal camera, and all AMPOP chips connected to +12V and -12V or +24V and -24V heat up a bit, but the voltages are OK;

Found the U413 SRAM (IDT7164) heating up, normally SRAMs don't heat up that much;

The two Spartans don't heat up at all, but they have their voltages OK;

All voltages are nominal from the regulators and modules (+5V, +12V, -12V, +15V, -15V, +24V and -24V);

Reflashed the flash (no pun intended) again with the KJ3 firmware backup I have, to no avail.

So, my hands are tied up, now. I do have a simple XY "octopus circuit" I've created to try to fix the problem, but I'm not willing to ruin more my dear protracker...

Is there anyone who could help me?

Thanks in advance.

At one point many years ago Huntron had a fixture called the Universal Edge Card Adapter (UECA) that was very similar. They still occasionally pop up on EBay.

This one could go in any section as applies to all Trackers whatever vintage.
Recently found on this website https://www.czh-labs.com/ a useful range of adaptor connectors to connect up to a Tracker. Connected by a 64-way IDC Ribbon cable  through the ICD plug on the Tracker.
On the adaptor shown here I have soldered in an Edge connector on the Adaptor to enable it to run a simple test on a Diode Board.
The Adaptor shown here made by CZH-LABS has the Part No. IDC 64 D-1291 Ver: 1.0.
Also saves wear & tear on the Trackers IDC Plug.
