Hi Peter, not the transverter that spat dummy, was just that I TXd drive power into the pre-amp which fried it, I didn't switch the switch. I will have to organise a sequencer.
Something started going on with the 2m xvtr where it was showing reflected power coming from the rest of the 2m system, I couldnt drive the 2m power as per normal. I changed the cable back to the IC910 and it was fine. 910s are renown for limiting TX power if theres and SWR issue, so initially im suspecting a possible issue with the Xvtr. I'll test it when I feel like turning it back on again.
My apologies for taking so long in getting the station up and running.
Bernard, I'd say we just didn't cross paths at the right time, I can usually hear most people from Melbourne area. Maybe next time, good to hear you were running as a home station. Sorry to hear about your 23cm PA
Disappointing when these things occur after the time taken to put them together.
David, thank you very much for the offer, but no, that one got green with moisture quite a while back now. Since then Ive been using one I sourced from EU somewhere, https://www.thedxshop.com/masthead-pream...igned.html
Im not sure but I might still have yours somewhere around here I will have to have a look.
