Brian, Even though Owen's outward symptoms are similar to yours, the failure point is likely quite different. That is why Transmit Signal Tracing is important. There are 5 active devices in the transmit chain as well as the bandpass and low pass filters, and the oscillators (VFO and BFO) can cause low output as well. The only way to know which one is the culprit is to move forward with the transmit signal tracing. There is no one single answer, each case is different.
Every solder connection and each toroid lead is a potential failure point, not to mention those components that jump out of the correct holes and end up in the wrong places just before soldering. 73, Don W3FPR On 10/5/2010 7:06 PM, Brian Denley wrote: > ?Don: > If Owen also has no transmit power on the other bands then are his symptoms > identical to mine? > Brian Denley > http://home.comcast.net/~b.denley/index.html > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
