Hello, Once again I'm getting a Lo P message when I try to tune on 10 and 12 meters. Last month all was well but after coming home this month and selecting 12 meters I noticed it was quite, not the s meter reading I expected, 10 meters was also quite. I tried tuning, using AUTO and ALT, and got the Lo p message even with the power set to 10 watts.
I have had this issue before and it was a bad solder joint on D4 last time. So since it worked before and now it's not it makes me wonder what other component can have a bad solder joint. I was also wonder if maybe my antenna might be an issue. I'm using just a long wire hanging out an up stairs window for now connected to a tree about 25 feet in the air. Would getting a better antenna like a G5RV( I think thats it ) would help the situation? Or maybe a better quality wire? But I think it's an internal issue. Going to need a watt better so can anyone recommend a good QRP watt meter. 73, Ed KE7HGA -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Lo-P-on-10-and-12-meters-tp7174518p7174518.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
