Info is abit skimpy but my simple mind wants to know...what does the radio show on a dummy load and external power/swr meter ( take the external tuner out of line),,,...in cw mode....and any power in SSB indicated by the external meter? Also check all bands and mode's...lets hope the refurbished radio needs not another trip to factory....maybe its the tuner ----- Original Message ----- From: Bob Hawkins via BVARC To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 22, 2014 9:44 PM Subject: [BVARC] Problems with Icom 718 power out
I am having an issue with my new Icom 718. While the receiver is a big improvement. In five different attempts, I have attempted to make a contact without success. I thought it was just band conditions, until today. I noticed no lights on my tuner in USB mode, 20 meters. No green light on the LDG Z11 Pro II means there is no power getting to the radio. The RF power level is set at 90%, the mic gain is at 70%. I have tried this with three different microphones with the dame result, no power out on USB. I have not tried this on LSB. The tuning circuit on the radio works fine. The manual says that when pushing the tuning button, the radio changes to AM mode and drops to 25% power. Anyone have any ideas?
