[Repeater-Builder] Milcom International UHF PA

Hello All, I have a Milcom International UHF PA on the bench. Model number is P12-O5HA1-C1 rated at 250mw in with 100w out. I'm trying to identify what two pots (R9 R10) do on a board that seems like a control board. Both pots appear to vary the output power and current draw, although one

Hi Alex, Thanks for the reply! Your description of the pots was great but I don't see ANY tuning caps on any boards in this amp. There's a 10watt board that feeds a 65w board. Then, this 65w board gets split to feed two more 65w boards which get combined as the final output. I can easily set

Jeff, Thanks for the thought which is something I did not check. (nor do I know how at the moment, I'll have to find the book) I did check the obvious solder connections that usually fail and even re-flowed them. The POT seems ok as when the amp finally does reach full power, the POT varies
