Re: Cracklies
Which model power supply do you have? If it's the AC input high power supply make sure you have the ferrite bead on the power cable. Also check between Onan and Motorola versions. I also like to

Re: Cracklies
Turn off the UHF repeater, remove the Comet diplexer, jumper the VHF path and run the VHF repeater alone - during a cracklie period. Rules out a diplexer issue on the VHF side. Chuck

Re: Speaking of Quantars....
What's the likelyhood of the original heat sink compound becoming dried out after all these years. Would the silver compound used for uP chips be worth the cost? As this is only for the brick the

Re: Speaking of Quantars....
I've been considering having a spare PA on hand. Maybe this will give me the impetus to do so and go through it before deploying it. Thanks for the info I'm still trying to wrap my head around my
