Hey all,
I have a HF-150 and after the recent power outages my radio will not turn
on, nothing, nada, zip, zilch. It was plugged into a surge protected strip
and was never turned on - either when the power went off or when the power
came back on.
My question is - is there a fuse or breaker inside? Nothing I can find on
the outside. Just hoping it's something easy before I have to pack it up
and send it off somewhere.
Many thanks,
Please reply to e-mail too if you can.

I would suspect, and hope, that the problem is in the power supply - I
assume you are using the Lowe wall-wart supply.
Try it on batteries to confirm this.
If it is the supply I'm afraid I have no information on it, but a
suitable replacement should be relatively easy to obtain - mine normally
runs off a 13.8 volt power supply which runs a lot of other equipment
and is quite happy.
If the power supply is good then things get more complex. From the
circuit diagram in the manual there is a polarity protection diode ahead
of the power switch. After the switch it splits three ways, two of which
go to 5 and 8 volt regulators; so there are a number of potential
failure points.
Afraid that is about all the help I can offer.
