Box has sat and run a couple years with no troubles. There has been a
lot of activity at the site recently with the diplexer added. the rig
ran a week happily since that was installed and the second frequency
is still dark. The diplexer designer was on site and was certain it
should play happy into the changed load.
Attempting to turn it on, any power setting, it comes on at 200 watts
for about 7 seconds and then all 3 meters fall to nothing gradually
(about 1/3 scale to zero in 2 seconds). No fault lights, and the
display shows no error codes. All the supplies and readings i can
take with the keypad seem ok. Been through the manual, and now
looking for ideas in Tom O's SX1 tip sheet.
Any hints would be appreciated. headed back out in the morning with a
better meter. We're not dead in the water. It's older brother MW-1
is running fine in backup service.
Thanks!
