Still trying to solve my high SWR fold back problem. One other Flexer (K6JEK) had a problem with the J3 on the REF board falling out and producing similar results. Mine is plugged in and fine, however if I unplug the J3 I get the same response Jon ,K6JEK did... completely bogus power out and reflected reading on the console -- 568 watts... My reflected power reading is much higher than forward power... on the console, reflected power reads 5-6 times higher than forward power... obviously not correct. Any other recommendations on what to look for? Bob K8MLM In a message dated 11/4/2006 5:19:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
I have a strange fault. The SWR bridge in the SDR-1000 seems to be malfunctioning. While on the air this morning the SWR jumped and there didn't seem to be anything I could do to correct it. I checked the SWR with another transceiver and verified it was OK. It seems the SDR-1000 SWR bridge is reading in error and causes the amplifier to fold back. In the SDR Tune position the SWR reads 50:1 on all bands even to a dummy load and folds back even with 1 watt drive. Has anyone ever experienced this? Any recommendations. I don't believe it is a software problem. System ran correct before the fault, receives fine and same SWR problem exists after re-booting the computer and reloading the software.
