6m Power Problem After PA CALIB Pass
Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2022 5:49 pm
Waa working well thanks to KE9NS's fine efforts over thew years.
I made the mistake of hooking up may freshly calibated PowerMaster I and trying recal the PA (CTRL SHIFT F)
BIAS - runs and reports all good.
NULL - runs and well below red area
PA CAL - 160 -10 worked perfectly but 6m is now hosed.
On 6m the power dies after 60 watts and thus the SWR goo is not calibrated and EEPROM data not written.
6m is now useless.
I have tried many times, same, repeat errors due to no power out beyond 60 watts durig CAL or just operating.
6m was working well before my dumb attempt to make better.
I am guessing EEPROM data hosed?
Bug? Ideas?
Thanks,
