Hi All, I'd be interested in the answers to this, as my W2 also recently lost the same R10 component. And especially the answers about the Ethernet/signal cables too...

Both of mine have faults - The display has lost port nr 1 and it looks like R10 has been damaged on the PCB. What physical size is this resistor? I can see from the cct diagram that it is 330R. I don't do much SMD work so don't recognise the physical sizes..... My 2KW HF sensor displays high SWR and low power into a known good load when used with my friends "good" W2. I cant see any physical problems, so how do I go about fault finding this or getting it fixed? Can I use a regular Ethernet cable to connect display and sensor? I used one to test my display with a known good sensor on port 2, but sometimes the display went haywire whilst on the air. I see elecraft supply a flat 8P8C RJ45 cable, so I guess there is an engineering reason for that? Thanks for your advice! 73 Steve, M0BPQ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to j...@eeek.org.uk ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
