I would look for the missing nut first (possibly stuck to the speaker) Then I'd take the top and bottom covers of and check traces etc

I had lent the unit to someone to use at Field Day. They reported it would not power up. Going through the unit it appears that a nut and washer has come off of one of the PL259 antenna plates. A thorough internal inspection found a loose washer but no nut. There is nothing evidently wrong inside, no flashing, no sparking, no burning odor. It just won't come on. Fuse did not activate. I am going to call the factory tomorrow but anyone have any ideas? ______________________________________________________________ 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] ______________________________________________________________ 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]
