I was running WPX RTTY contest using abt 80W and it had ran for over an hour with no problems. I have done it many times and the PA temp stayed around 50.... All of the sudden I received the ERR 12V. I was watching the PA temp and it was staying around 45 to 49C. The rig was running 3 bars on ALC, so was not overdriving the PA. Output was abt 80W.
I went into the Config menu and turned the PA off and then back on and it still does not show up in the display menu to monitor PA temp. I have power cycled the rig and power supply a number of times and no luck??? Any Suggestions? All I can get out of it is 12 W now and the PA is cool. Cold air out of the back of the rig. The Voltage from the power supply is 13.9V and I have a solid connection to the PS. I cannot even get it to display the PA temp at all now even when I go into the Config menu and make sure it is turned on. PA is set to NOR in Config menu.
