Hi all, I am using the L75 for some time now and since recently I have this strange smell when I run the PA for a while at max power. My wife then says "have you started smoking cigars again, you promised not too yaghhh!" And yes it smells like a mixture of burned resistors and "cigars". Something has to be done about it hi! The problem is, I CANNOT locate where it comes from! Has anyone ever seen (smelt...) this before? I recall have seen a message related to a L7? There is something strange that I notice along. If I run the L75 on my dummy-load, it runs fine and no smell at all. Also the "fan" turns on much later then if I run it on the antenna, so obviously smoothing becomes less hot. The SWR is the same though and the plate-current is same too. Any suggestions are highly appreciated! 73, Dick/PA2DW ---------------------------------------------------------------------- On Behalf of "Dick Harms PA2DW" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Submissions: drakelist@www.zerobeat.net Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: http://www.zerobeat.net Brought to you courtesy of TLCHost.net http://www.tlchost.net/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
