R1CBU Firmware - FT8

 

OK - following on from the FT8 questions..
?
For some reason, since this morning, I have not been able to get more that 2w out on FT8 / FT4 and when tuning the ATU.

I have tried updating the X6100's base firmware and also created another R1CBU Firmware disk (multiple SD cards used) which does not overcome the problem.
?
If I run the native firmware everything seems to work OK and the output levels are normal - But as soon as I boot into the R1CBU Firmware things do not seem to work as they used to.

I have also noticed that the "Output Power Reduced to 5W" message is missing.
?
Can someone suggest a fix please ?
 

I had a similar problem. The X6100 is sensitive to SWR and will reduce power a lot if SWR is over 2.
To be 100% sure the ATU is locked in do the following.
Make sure TX CQ and TX call are disabled.
Long press ATU.
When ATU is finished reenable TX CQ and TX Call.
If the antenna is still out of range of the ATU you will not get the full 5 Watts.
?
Hope this helps.

Thanks

I am on the ‘Silly Step’

?

I had plugged in the control cable to my XPA250B which seems to have caused a data issue.

Once I unplugged the lead all worked fine. A whole day playing and learning !!

Thanks for your input
