Couldn't find anything in the archives, so here goes.
My KX1 showed a strange problem. I had put it away in full working order
about a week ago. Yesterday I wanted to listen to some live CW to polish up
my skills. It switched on ok, but there was absolutely no audio output. Not
even a hint of hiss. I tried several headsets, nothing.
Also, there was no HF output at all into a dummy load. I thought it wise to
refrain from taking it apart at that time...
So this evening I tried again. No HF, no AF, the display was working okay,
I could switch between all bands and the tuning seemed to be working as
well. Battery power is 8V. I decided to see if the receiving circuits were
still with me, but found that the S-meter indicated a strong signal all the
time: it could not distinguish between the XG1 being switched on or off or
even being disconnected!
Hmmm... I took out the KXAT1 and without even putting the jumper in the
audio hiss was there when I turned the KX1 on. I put the KXAT1 back in and
it came fully alive with all bells and whistless working like a charm.
What the hack is going on here? Anybody seen this before?
