Was Q37's leads to the IF circuit board. Somehow it
developed circular cracks in the solder joint from the leads to the board. It kept the rig from going into transmit. It was just a control line level shifter or inverter. Oddly enough I had just finished installing a new wire dipole strung between trees on my house's quarter acre lot. Something vaguely resembling a 80 meter dipole with a W2AU balun at the feedpoint. I thought that I somehow toasted the xmit part of the rig with a bad antenna, but the rig has self protection circuits. I don't think bad solder joints on a control line transistor would be caused by a new antenna.... :-) |
