Measure the current from the power supply, if 18-20 odd amps then the power is being generated, but being lost in the RF LPF or certainly ?in that path, if current only 2-3 amps, then the HF pa transistors are not been driven!

Subject: [ic7000] IC7000 no HF Transmit

?

I purchased an IC7000 with the condition that will not transmit on all HF bands.? VHF/UHF transmit at the designed power out in all modes.? Receiver works excellent in all bands all modes.? Since VHF/UHF transmit proves that the Driver circuit works I have focused on the HF circuit.? With a scope, I see hf signal through the driver and through the power transistors Q301 and Q302.? The bias current is set properly.? All board traces seem to be in-tack and pass the signal through to the ANT1 connector when terminated with a dummy load, but the signal barely registers on the external power meter when the power control is set to 100%.

Any help for further troubleshooting will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
