We have found a loose (de-soldered) diode 1N5408 in this factory assembled KPA500. The diode shows >10Mohm in one direction and 2-3 Mohm (varying) in the other direction (DVM) Where is this diode located (if there are several, then where?), what is its function and is it replaceable by a skilled tech person? What could be the reason for the failure - it does not appear to have been over-heated, so desoldering appears not logical.
Is there a diagram of the KPA500 available? 73 from Steen and Paul OZ8SW (owner) and OZ4UN ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
