Hi all, Just thought I would let you know I fixed my problem with the 60m and 160m installs. I checked and rechecked everything and all seemed fine which had me scratching my head. In the end, the problem was the seating of the 60m board. I think I had the 8 pin header connected but not the 3 pin. It is a swine to get right and you can't get your fingers in to check but once I reinstalled it all sprung into life, joy :-)
Now I could get onto the alignment. I tuned everything but I cannot get the 160m board within the 1v to 7.5v range and the 60m range is very low. These are the readings I am getting. I have ignored those bands where the readings are well within spec. 1800 - 3.1v 2000 - 7.99v 3500 - 2.6v 4000 - 7.49v 5300 - 1.0v 5450 - 1.45v All the other bands are between 2.0v and 4.8v. I shifted the vco to get 60m in spec and I guess this is why 160m is out but why does the 60m band have such low values? I cannot get more than about 6w out on 160m. Any thoughts?
