Hi Don, I figured out my problem. First I re-did my measurements as you suggested. I checked them against the 2005 Manual and they are within limits. I noticed that when ever I removed my dummyload from the SO-239 connector the static would go intermittent and finally it was very low. I checked the connection from the pcb to the ant connector and the wire Moved! Damn, a real bad solder joint by the Previous owner! The ground lead was just as bad.
So, I replaced both leads, applied some new solder, and touched up some other suspicious joints. And now its 20watts out! Thanks again for your insight. 73, Kevin NZ1I K2 # 7329 and XV50, soon XV144 and 222! -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/XV-50-No-Output-tp7579780p7579896.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
