*** Does your RF board have the built-in xmit attenuator? If so, will 6dB there stop the oscillation? I would look for RF on - the power lead and also the control lead - that enables the PA. It might

Thanks Jerry and Bill. I’ll get back to this on Monday. 3 dB pad on input of PA reduces oscillation, 6 dB pad stops the oscillation dave

I wonder if it will oscillate if you stick an attenuator pad between the BPF and the amp? - Jerry, KF6VB

*** I did get oscillation from my system a few weeks ago. I had installed an End Fed Half Wave antenna. It only happened with my big linear. A big fat common mode choke fixed it. - Jerry, KF6VB

Yes, I agree. The amp is solid. Previously , I swept the amps and got solid performance. And, when I disconnect the drive to the amp the oscillation stops. It is being caused by something in the T41

*** I have to agree with Bill. I built two of them, and neither of them showed any instability. I would try improving the bypassing on the power traces. Scope them to see if there's RF on them. -

Something is wrong. The amp will NOT oscillate by itself. Dr. William J. Schmidt - K9HZ J68HZ 8P6HK ZF2HZ PJ4/K9HZ VP5/K9HZ PJ2/K9HZ Owner - Operator Big Signal Ranch – K9ZC Staunton, Illinois Owner

Yes it is on a DL

Do you have it on a dummy load? - jerry

It is the K9HZ 20W amp [email protected]> wrote:

Is it a K9HZ final? Or the one with the IRF510s? - Jerry, KF6VB

I got the second T41 v12 with SW ver66.4 with amplifier operating today.? Both are acting the same, oscillations around 40MHz at several watts when PTT is engaged.? With the oscillation, I was still

I have been setting TX IQ Calibration parameters.? Everything aligns well on the lower bands.? When I engage PTT on 12m, 10m, and 6m in the TX IQ Cal menu, the amp oscillates around 40MHz and draws

Perfect! Or not so much, but its fixed now! Dr. William J. Schmidt - K9HZ J68HZ 8P6HK ZF2HZ PJ4/K9HZ VP5/K9HZ PJ2/K9HZ Owner - Operator Big Signal Ranch – K9ZC Staunton, Illinois Owner – Operator

Thanks Bill. The cable was inverted. dave

ULN2803 on the LPF Control board. I found the problem. The high filter ribbon cable was inverted from what it should be. Embarrassing mistake. dave

Compile Options: ??? Faster with LTO ??? 528MHz ??? Dual Serial I had tried dual serial? when there was no Serial Monitor output with Serial. With dual there is no display at all. I did have

With the 510s off the idle current for the PA board on its own is 250mA with the pots adjusted as low as possible. Is this idle current high and indicative of a problem. Howard VE3HBH

More data here… look what happens if you spin the cable connected to J24 around 180 degrees…. you have the 12V+ from pins 2 & 4 NOW on pins 7 & 9 (the 10M and the 6M lines), BUT THEY go to U10 and
