Re: Blinky's Fun Club
I have the same issue that cropped up with mine shortly ago. From a bit of research it seems to be an indication the the PLL is unlocked. For my case it seems to be an issue of the 5V getting down to

Hullo Kenny, I was surprised on a re-read to note the presence of a dummy load. Some of the symptoms were suggesting an antenna problem. Is the dummy load competent? Is it capable of the power level

Re: need help : HF bands FM output 100watt SSB is 0watt

Re: need help : HF bands FM output 100watt SSB is 0watt
A few questions. 1 did you answer that you had no output on ssb, but OK on CW,FM, and AM? The next stage after the crystal filter is for SSB only as I remember. I believe Q1089 is the buffer that
