XV144 problem - no LEDs light up

john petters
Greetings Folks,
I've just resurrected my XV144 after a year of none use. I needed to
make up a new cable for the K2 to the XV. Everyting seems norml except
that the LEDs are not lighting on transmit. As the relays operate, one
bar flicks on and then goes off. I am getting about 15 watts output and
it is receiving OK. I've checked the wiring on the main connector. The
K2 is set to trn2 and is reading the correct frequency on 144mhz. Have I
missed or forgotten something obvious?
Many thansk in anticipation.

John,

Did you set up R10 properly?  See page 28 of the new XV User's Manual
for instructions.  You may download the manual if you have an older one.
(I am certain it is in the older manual too, just not certain where).
