[Elecraft] XV432 Trips Off on Tranmit

2015-02-25 Thread Lewis Phelps
My XV432 transporter has suddenly developed a serious problem. Receive mode 
works fine, but when I try to transmit, it instantly shuts down, apparently 
because of a bad SWR mismatch or similar problem.

I’ve checked my cables, and replaced them. I’ve checked all the settings on the 
Main Menu.  I’ve tried with two different antennas and a dummy load, and with 
differing coax cables.  I’ve checked all the on-board coax plugs on the KIO3 
board, checked to make sure the KIO3 board is properly seated,  etc.   Transmit 
power is set at 0.1 watt. Nothing resolves the problem. Any suggestions as to 
what I have failed to look for?  Any suggestions as to how I can differentiate 
between  transverter problem and a KIO3 problem?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Make that read “transverter” in first line. Thanks a lot to Apple auto spelling 
correction….
