Subject: [TenTec] Some progress made! --Omni D low to no power
Well Rick, you win the prize...you were correct...I could have saved
myself some time had I checked this sooner, of course...I knew I was close
when I injected a 0 dbm signal at the tx mixer output and got full
power...the last stage I checked was the crystal filter...I was going to
inject a signal through it but ended up just looking at the solder joints
and put it back in when I came up for a coffee...I read your post and
decided to jumper with the .01 capacitor and voila....100 watts on the
nose!
SO, now to see what I can do with the filter...likely a faulty
crystal...not sure how i will test those but I like the idea of using one
of the other TT filters...lots of room to work.
Many thanks to you and the others for chiming in on this...As always, a
learning experience!...the scope meter really help narrow things down...it
in combo with the little sig gen ruled a lot, fast.
cheers
scott
