Re: IC-7000 erratic low power output on HF
|
OK after much poking (and sage advice from Dave Doe K1HRV), it appears that:
- I have a new external SWR/power meter which allows me to read data quickly but is amusing on SSB and of course with no power - which was combined with a mismatch to the antenna which led to full fold back of the power level - compounded by the settings in the WSJT software which?confounded?what I was observing
Thanks for all the suggestions.? The fold back comments on SWR and the discussion of the details of the ALC provide the keys to unravelling my confusion?here.
Thanks!
Suddenly last night my IC-7000 stopped performing effectively?on HF.
It delivers 35 watts on 440 It delivers?45 watts on 2 meter it delivers between 0 and 13 watts at most on 20, 15, and 6 with erratic behavior on 40 it provides 11 watts during tuning
Thoughts/suggestions?? Other diagnostic tests I should run?
Thanks in advance!!!
