This was the first time I used six meters to do repeater operation. When I had the power up to 100 watts, the radio shut off. So I backed the power down to 35 watts and it worked fine. There seems to be too many amps drawn up there. At 35 watts, I was drawing 24-25 amps which I took a reading on my external power supply. The fans inside were running unlike SSB in which they hardly come on. My G5RV antenna hit the repeater 65 miles away on 35 watts and I had "frying eggs" on my signal. So I decided to increase the power and the radio shut off. Now on SSB on 10 meters, I am drawing between 10-15 amps. My SWR's were 1:1 with the it tuned inside the radio. I have a ground on the back of the radio which I tested and it works. Whats going on with this?
Second problem on six meters. I had the mic game all the way up and the audio is low or it sounded like I was talking far away from the mic even when I was on top of it. What adjustments do I need to make regarding the audio? It also sounds tinty/low unlike the nice rich audio I get on SSB. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Problems-With-Six-Meters-tp2017555p2017555.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
