Re: New QMX+ Calibration victim
Update:
Managed to remove L101 by cranking up the temperature on the hot air station. I created a new L101 by putting 29 turns of magnetic wire on a FT37-43 core to get ~300uH as a temporary fix until i receive?my Digikey shipment? That worked while on the HW-diagostic?screen, but PSU limited on current when TX Bias was enabled. Replaced all 4 BS170s and the SMPS seems happy again!? ? I now have (good) output power on 160m, 80m & 60m, but next to nothing on 40m and even less going up in frequency.?
Guess next is to start checking LPF selection BSS123's and PIN diodes??? (strange error though, as there are many LPFs and none above 60m is working. Only one LPF is enabled at a time, right?)
