Hi All, Just wanting to share a mistake I made this week:
Observation: When pressing the PTT on your mic in SSB mode, the ALC reading shows immediately 8 digits illuminated. There is no power control possible. Output in SSB is only 1-3W, whatever the mic settings In CW mode, where the ALC is not effective, everything is working just normal Cause: On the SSB pcb, D2 was incorrectly inserted. The component Anode-Cathode direction was ok, but it was physically completely shifted 1 hole to the left (left and right across the marking D2). '73 Mark, PA5MW _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
