Re: X5105 CW Mode Transmit Intermittent

Hi JP,

?

Great question! Yes, I did change the mode and key down but, quite honestly, thought that the programming of the rig would prevent output in those modes when keying the rig as the primary modulation driver is audio/mic.

?

No, I did not get power out in FM, AM, or SSB but again, thought that was the rig¡¯s logic. I am more interested in understanding how you improved the standoff grounding and may contact you off-line. Thanks for your response.

Lou,
? Have you tried switching mode to FM and keying microphone to see if it¡¯s a CW only issue? I ask only because I had similar issue & it ended up being traced to the loose brass board standoffs depriving grounds to the boards. Mine had similar symptoms and finally dropped output to zero. If you do disassemble the rig, be VERY?
careful when removing the sides with the kickstand legs.
There are tiny springs which can fly and disappear, I placed a small piece of electric tape over the spring slot to keep spring in place for all eternity.

Hope this helps
