My Paragon puts out full power on 80 meters, but has low power
output on all the other bands. Is there a Paragon expert out there
that can point me in the right direction on troubleshooting this
problem? I'm using a 50 ohm dummy load of course. It had full output
on all bands until one day I turned it on and I couldn't get full
power. The amps (Ip) look about where it should be, but output is way down.
Check your collector current on the bands with low output. Is it the same
as the 80 meter reading with full output? If so.....
Check your TX output bandpass filter reed switches. Check to see if the reed
switches are off on the bands not being used.
Typically this problem is caused by reed switches not being turned off or just
stuck on when not using those bands, causing a heavy load on the final and
low output.
