During a QSO whilst in the mountains of North Wales I received a string of
electric shocks (even through thick gloves) with my KX1 rapidly switching on
and off. Wisely thinking that this was not healthy I immediately switched
the KX1 off and pulled out the antenna (66' doublet).
This occurred during a heavy hail shower, a small VHF yagi was crackling
loudly with static so I guess a static build up was the culprit with my KX1.
After the storm passed I fired up the KX1 and proceeded to work a few more
stations but alas it was only showing about 6~700 mW output on all three
bands.
Not having much experience in fault finding can any kind soul out there
advise me where to start checking which components might be affected?
Many thanks in advance,
