Default Re: Sailor T128 Marine Transmitter.

the shorting links, of course they are. makes sense now.
thanks. very. much.

in all honesty I have not even had the freq counter out on the set. the fact that the tx is being resolved quite reasonably on a nearby sythesised rx just makes me think that the only problem is (probably) a fairly simple one, in the PA stage somewhere
I will go through the tuning procedure and see if that helps.

previous people back up the thread have said not to expect any smoke out of the chimney until the tuning is set up properly. I have had a go at it but only really tackled setting up the pi-tank output. I havent given it an honest effort.

still just feel that I am missing some fundamental fault on the PA.

the only reason that I attempted repair was because when I first fired the radio up I could tx voice & alarm across the bench. so I thought it was just the PA.
