Here is something else to try. This assumes that the PA pre-filter has been tuned to your frequency. With the TX filter bypassed, but everything else hooked up, try turning the power set control down a little. It may be that you are simply driving the PA too hard and it is shutting down. There

Sitting here looking at the tune up procedure for the filter, it tells me to insert a rf millivoltmeter probe into J18 and insert a 225 mV signal into the the output of the post filter. I did this, and get nothing on the meter at all. Now I'm not sure if there is a difference between my RS

The built in duplex filtering option is simply a very high Q pass filter system. Everything on the TX side should be tuned to your TX frequency. The RX side of the filter is actually the receiver front end. which should be tuned to your RX frequency. Since you have a single frequency

Ok, I do have a SA, so will use that. Ok, hence then, just like my duplexers on my 2 meter system, I'm thinking the prefilter is for the tx and the post filter is for the receive? So if I inject a signal into the input of the prefilter of 442.000 and the output to my SA, I should be able to

Yes, you should be able to get it to work by using an SA as the detecting device in place of an RF voltmeter. In fact, you could almost treat the filter as a mini-duplexer and peak all the coils if your SA also has a tracking generator. The only problem is that the peaks are rather broad, whereas

Boonton makes some nice instruments. Just make sure the RF probe comes with it (they plug in and are often not included), and that the unit is guaranteed to be working. You don't need to measure the exact amplitude, you only need to detect the peak and dips as you tune the filter coils. The
