RE: K2 4039, Failing transmitter tests - PA Bias Grounded

[Nicolas Pike]

Hi,

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I now have some more information to go
on!

Q7 Collector 3k OK!
Q6 Base 118Ohm OK!
Q7 Base SHORT Not OK!!!

I have checked the diodes, toroids T1 - T4, and carefully looked over the
board for shorts. I have referred to the circuit diagram but I do not really
know now to determine if the PA Bias section is grounding it, or if the PA
section is grounding itself, or some other section is grounding them!!
(Although don't "think" much else can?)

Wondered if you had any suggestions?

Thanks
Nicolas

Hi

The bases of Q7 and Q8 could be shorted through T4 if one of the bare wire windings are in the wrong hole or touching one of the other windings. C129, C130 or C137 could be bad but not likely but worth checking anyway.
