Hi all,
Thanks for giving some ideas!
I checked the resistors on the bottom of the ssb board, they are all
correct. I must say that trying to identify parts on the top of the
board is a real challenge, its so stuffed that its almost impossible!
Don, I redid the output amperage at 10 watts:
Your current readings don't look out of hand to me! 40 is normally higher
because that is the band that usually produces the greatest RF output. Your
readings are consistent with my K2.
Interesting that you say the output reads over 15 watts in all cases,...
Few K2's make 15 watts on 10. Many
Neal,
Taking things in reverse order - go ahead and put the Noise Blanker itself
back in rather than the 6 dB pad resistors. It will only affect the receive
path and not the Transmit path.
OK - your current draw at a constant 10 Watts output looks just fine to me.
It is a bit unusual that your
Neal,
Just an additional note - I usually adjust the SSB Carrier balance by
looking at the RF output (with no audio signal) with my 'scope - I adjust
the carrier balance for minimum power output (compromising if necessary
between USB and LSB). You should find the proper point near the mid-point
