OK all you guru's out there, I need help.
I'm setting up a '430 for 2nd radio here and have it hooked to an
Astron RS-20A power supply. When I turn the radio on it
receives, but when I go to transmit, the radio starts to chatter
and the display goes away. I tried it on the '840 and it won't
work on it either
I tried---
1. Using the power cord on another Astron power supply and it
works ok, so it's not the cord.
2. Put a voltmeter on the output of the power supply and the
voltage is constant at around 13 volts.
3. Put a toroid on the power cord (thought it might be RF) and
that didn't help.
4. Put a power cord that I knew was good on it and it still
didn't work.
Now I'm stumped and don't know what else to check. Think it may
be a current problem? If so, why does the voltage not change??
Any ideas? 73
