Egg on face.
Thanks to Kevin and Ron for the Glowbugs tip, but I never got a round tuit.
To rule out the T/R relay, I put the 'scope on the tank output, and had
volts!
Rechecking the coax, switch and dummy load connections, I found my
intermittent. Securing that and voila! 200 V p-p across 50 ohms (That is 100
watts, no?).
Anyhow, if you look in the Griefkit book under REL PWR way too high, it says
to check that you've connected your antenna. Gaaaagh.
The 170 volt spec in the Tx voltage chart is clearly marked for RF-drive
off, but only appears at RF-drive full. Getting to have waaaay to many
grains of salt in this reading exercise.
I'm sure I'll wind up on the Glowbugs list anyhow, but not today! I've got
to warm up the ionosphere!
Now, if I can just find the guy that bought my 1981 UP Comet OVR Hang
Glider! I've not seen him fly it for a year or two, so it may be on the
block! Is it a symptom or getting old, returning to the 1970's?
