[solved]Another V6 service question
« on: 20. November 2018, 00:03:58 »

just finished a V6 board set, all works well, but i am getting full output on 80/160 meters with no drive levels.
Receiving just fine, putting out a signal there as per my 7610 scope, no spurs.
Any ideas where to look for this bug??
Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Chuck,
check bias voltage and current consumption change when going from SSB rx to transmitting SSB without audio signal.
Have you tried to actively set the bias and does the current consumption change when changing bias?
If current changes, bias voltage is applied when transmitting as it should. However, it may be much higher than expected -> something around the bias ciruit is faulty or of wrong value and provides higher bias than expected.
If rx current is much higher than normal and does not change when going to tx, bias voltage is applied all the time, potentially a fault in he bias hardware.

Yes that is true, but only on 80/160 meters.
works fine on all other bands.
I will do some voltage checks at a later date.
Thanks

Hi Chuck,
yes, you're right. Can't be a general failure of the bias unit, otherwise it would occur on all bands.

I Installed the PTT relay and that fixed the issue.
I don't understand, but it worked.

Yes, I thought that involved more than one band when that happened.
