Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft T1 doesn't tune nor read power levels

@John-2

If for "motors" you intend the relays, they seems to work (I cycled them
with the diagnostic built in the T1), but during normal tuning operation,
the tuner does seems to not recognize that RF is sent to the T1 at all.

I tired to change the coaxial links between radio, T1 and antennas just for
good measure, but there is no change.

[Elecraft] Elecraft T1 doesn't tune nor read power levels

[IU6ASS]

Couple of weeks ago i got my hands on a used rig, an FT817D plus an Elecraft
T1 tuner. The tuner worked fine until yesterday, doing the autotuning at
band change and tuning when pressing the "tune" button.

But now when i press the tune button or switch between bands and transmit
within the flashing green LED, the tuner stands still, not cycling thru the
relays to find the best match, as like it's not connected to an RF source at
all.

Thanks to the CAT cable, when i switch bands on the radio, the T1 it still
does the same, and still retains the last stored SWR match saved on the
various bands, but if i switch to another antenna and try to tune, as
mentioned, it does not tune.

I tried tuning in CW, AM, FM, talking over SSB, but to no avail, the tuning
does not starts.

I tried switching to a new battery, same effects.

I tried to listen to the slow CW Info, but not much information.

I decided to open the T1 and eventually check for cracked solder joints and
aside from fatigue ones on the BNCs that i could solder easily, nothing out
of the ordinary came out to my eyes.

Any idea from more expert minds?
