Dave, You might want to watch eBay for the PA, Dave. [Search for both MSF5000 and MSF10000 - the European version - especially if you're looking at the European eBay site(s)...] They pop up from time to time... or ask here - maybe someone has one that is surplus to their needs. Shipping across the pond might be a bit prohibitive, though. They're not lightweight, for certain!
But like I said, I think there is a "feedback loop" (for lack of a better description) in the MSF5000 station that monitors both FWD and REF currents (or voltages) from the PA, so the station can tell if it's making too much power, etc. Without the PA connected the processor doesn't see those signals and gives an error code - or two or three... :-) I'm learning more and more about this station every day, but I have "...miles to go before I sleep." Good luck! 73 de Mark - N9WYS -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] On Behalf Of dave_g7uzn Thanks for the responce Mark....I share your concerns about having everything connected/terminated. I have trawled through all the files I can find and whilst some manuals show the interconnections as lines, none go to core level (unless I've missed them) The chances of finding the missing componants are slim to say the least...Oh well never mind I'll have to put the 5000 in the 'pendingbox' along with the other projects! Thanks again...........Cheers Dave UZN
