Re: FT-847 power switch

Andy Bosworth All Messages By This Member #762 I would suggest you do not just turn psu on, it will more than likely have a voltage surge on switch on. Disconnect positive from psu, turn on psu and then connect positive. I have plenty of switches in stock, that are on ebay, but ebay vastly inflates the price for shipping to abroad from UK.? Direct is considerably cheaper. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On Wed, 21 Jun 2023, 14:32 Andrew Lenton, <a@...> wrote: There is a whole thread about low VHF power it may not be the output transistor ?

HI Years ago I had the same problem too. Sooner or later it happens to everyone, it depends on how you use the radio to know if "BEFORE" OR "AFTER"... ? The first time I shorted the contacts with the other position, then that one also blew and I replaced the switch completely with a new one which I found identical. ? It has held since then, but it will happen again...maybe... I always use the radio, now these days I notice another problem that gives me little VHF power... maybe the power amps or something else... I've been using it for years and years now... something had to happen... unfortunately. 73 Frank
