Hi Dave, I am not sure what to tell you. I had this issue twice. The first time was when the loop antenna had one lead disconnect from the balun. Once the antenna was fixed it went back to normal. The Second was after my cat decided to play around behind the desk. I found that RF got into the Firewire cable after she had relocated the Firewire cable on top of the RG-213 to wall antenna port cable. Even with the toroids on the Firewire, 10 watts was not liked by the Firewire System.

When I went to tune, no power out was shown. I rebooted XP Pro SP3 and one tune effort worked a bit, but subsequent efforts showed no power out again. I took power off the F3K and the PC, then powered all back on, symptom continued. When I ATU or Tune, the SWR sweeps down the full range of the meter, then starts back again at the high end. Something is screwed up, but I have no idea what. What should I do now? -- Dave Gomberg, San Francisco NE5EE Programming since 1961 All addresses, phones, etc. at http://www.wcf.com/ham/info.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ FlexRadio Systems Mailing List FlexRadio@flex-radio.biz http://mail.flex-radio.biz/mailman/listinfo/flexradio_flex-radio.biz Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexradio%40flex-radio.biz/ Knowledge Base: http://kc.flexradio.com/ Homepage: http://www.flexradio.com/ ----- No virus found in this message.
