Greetings! First post. I'm a seasoned electronics kit assembler with above average skills. That said, I have virtually NO skills with radios, but am a quick learner... I'm confident the electronics assembly is OK, but unsure about the coils and possibly enamel coating issues.?
This is a screen cap of the results from ADC I/Q test:
Based on the 1_00_027 operation guide, this should be a pair of sine waves slightly timed differently. All of the bands are pretty similar, and most tests are way off like this.?
I suspect the trifilar phase splitting is shorted and needs rebuilt, but wanted to make sure before I redo it. My concern is that when I twisted the 2 wires together, I used a drill and may have wrapped them so tightly the wire cut through the enamel coating.?
In the Operation guide, it seems to indicate this trifilar phase splitting transformer tends to be involved when multiple tests are not normal.?
