Re: 50w PA oscillations


 


Hi,
I have the QMX+ connected to the RF input of PA and the PA RF output is connected to dummy load.
QMX+ & PA is powered up.?
When QMX+ goes into transmit severe oscillations occur at junction of D3, D5, R8 (something like 10v RMS here)
The QMX+ is in practice mode so no RF out. Also?+5v PTT on ring is configured in the band setup (80m)

I was under the impression that no PTT mod is required on the QMX+??

Best Regards
Jonas

You’re going to have to be clearer about your set up?
?
if you’re saying an unpowered or powered 50WPA connected to the QMX+ makes it oscillate (in TX) when an antenna doesn’t the first thing to check (with a VNA) is the amp input impedance
But then you say nothing on RF in it RF out (do you mean it’s oscillating when PTT active and otherwise disconnected (not entirely surprising - Put a 3dB attenuator on the open input)
Please set out the exact layout and conditions that trigger your problem?
