FT-847 lost power output on HF

[VK4WDM]

Hi Wayne,

Download the service manual and work out the HF TX path. Pull the covers off and do some simple troubleshooting - supplies, fuses, plugs, burnt smells, is there RF at the PA input, does the radio switch to transmit, etc

You may be lucky enough to find something that is easy to resolve.

Hi Lou

Yes, will certainly do that but I am kind of hoping that somebody will have experienced this fault before and help narrow the search. I read a statement on another blog that implied that there is a separate internal fuse for the HF PA but I cannot find it on the schematic.
