Chattering or Flickering


Douglas Richards
 

Hello All
Has anyone had either of these 2 symptoms on their 847?
When powering up or occasionally during operation to chatter or flicker causing you to restart controller software.
I have had it, now, several times. It sounds like relays trying to make contact.
If this has happened, is there a fix?
Thank you

Closest I've had was the in-line fuse overheating, corroding and making poor contact. Mine were the cartridge fuses, not the spade terminal ones which are a lot better.

Check your power supply connections. Loose connection are OK during
receive, but during transmit, you will be a voltage drop resulting in all
kinds of bad things happening including relay chatter.

Hi.
Try to run the radio full power only with a dummy load, and measure the??voltage supply in Tx and Rx Modes.?
Make sure the voltages?are within?specs. The 847 has an over voltage protection.?
If you need I can send you the circuit?diagram of the power supply for further investigations.
