IC-730 question
Just picked up one of these, and solved the preamp relay
problem. I'm not getting anything out on transmit, and its not drawing much current, In SSB and AM, I can see normal meter deflection when the meter is in ALC mode, but no RF. I've heard that these radios are very sensitive to SWR, and will shut down the finals, and am wondering if this is causing a problem. Comments, suggestions? TIA Steve p.s.-yes, I tried transmitting into a load, and I am a ham |
