Re: FT-980 does not transmit in HAM mode. Lack of bias. ?Tantalum capacitors in PA?


 

EA1FC,

Thanks for your previous post.? I appreciate the info. I have been looking at the Q03 in the RF unit. Is that the one you meant.? It is the large one near the front corner.? In GEN the emitter and base are 12.54V and the collector is 0V.? In HAM the emitter and collector are 12.54 and the base is 11.84V.? (My power supply only puts out 13.06V and 23.9V.)? All this is with the PA unit removed.

I did power it up with the PA installed but with the RF in and out both disconnected and it did not overheat like before.

I'm still looking for someone local who might be able to work on this radio.

Happy New Year!
