This progress note is in reference to previous thread: Omni VI Plus
rig sometimes would put out full power, but at other times, failed to
put out more than 5 W.
Finally had time to debug; many thanks for all suggestions
Here's what has resolved the problem
Fellows, we disassembled the power amp module and found that a clipped
bias pot lead stuck in skotch tape (used to hold insulation on circuit
board) was shorting out drive RF. Since reassembly, the power amp
works fine. Appears not to have been a problem with Mic/Power pot on
front panel after all.
Thanks and 73s
