What should the voltage be ?


 

When testing i get these voltages on my amp
A )not transmitting J101 no voltage but there is a voltage of 13.9 volts on J102.
B) transmitting J101 there in a volttage of 6.82 volts and a voltage? of 13.9 volts on J102.
Is this correct?

6.82 volts on the gate is pretty high. It’s controlled by the driver bias setting in the service menu. It’s normally around 4 volts and you set it by monitoring the drain current on an external ammeter. Set it to 1 amp. If you are not seeing a 1 amp drain current draw, the transistor is defective.

You also are showing the early version of the driver board. Later versions have a 1.0 ohm resistor in series with the gate.

Thank You

Should there be 13.9 volt on J102?

Yes. Follow the line. It goes direct to the 13.8 volt DC input. Icom radios have DC on the drains or collectors any time the radio is connected to an energized power supply.

Thank you so much! This rig is driving me nuts now output (very low) until the DRIVO Q504 then nothing!
