I've been noticing a strange phenomena that I'm hoping someone can help explain. I'll be sitting in front of the rig tuning the band and listening when all of a sudden the background noise level star
On at least two occasions, I've traced that symptom to a T-R relay in an amplifier that died soon afterwards. It could be a relay in a transceiver, and even a bad coax connector. Jim K9YC ___________
If it's only on 40m, it is probably a bad antenna relay. If it is on all bands it's probably an amplifier relay. I have experienced both problems and I now never mount an antenna relay up on the towe
Thanks for all of the advice. 90% of the responses suggest it is a relay; probably in my remote switch. I have 2 or 3 spare ports on my remote switch so I guess it's time to climb the tower and move
explain. all of a sudden the background noise level starts to drop and signals start to drop in strength. After a couple of seconds signals are severely attenuated. It's as if there is a variable att

Are all of your antennas at DC ground? Is the 40 an ungrounded dipole? If the answers to both of these are yes then the choke from the center connector on the chassis connection to ground may be open
I've had the same symptoms. It was a dirty connection on a switch in the antenna tuner. Good luck. Forrest K7OCR --Original Message-- From: towertalk-bounces@contesting.com [mailto:towertalk-bounces@
