Well, Umm... That is another story...LOL I have my eye on a new digital oscilloscope that I am trying to con her into letting me buy. So if I tell her Tallman said I have to have it then it should go over smooth right? Sounds good to me buddy! LMBO..

I for one love reading your post no matter how long they are. The techie folks might feel your going over board with all the info you provide but for us none techie folks like myself enjoy learning from your post so keep'em coming is all I can say. I surely hope no one here is trying to run you...

Yes Sir I have the bench setup with Scope, Freq counter, Signal gen and meters. If I remember right you was one of the ones that helped me get all that cool stuff!

Great point! I did forget to add that in my list but Andy put it in his awesome graft layout.

Yes Sir that is another way to do one but would only be 6 watts and I wanted something to go at least 10 to 12 watts to be on the safe side. I think with having 16 watts I should be safe for normal CB testing. Beat the heck out of changing coax over or having a switch box dragging coax around...

Love seeing brain power put to use! See ya needed a break after being out in the sun so long getting your baby all washed, waxed and detailed up.

WOW that is crazy! Glad I did not waste my money to try one! Thanks for the heads up!

Yes Sir that would help folks to get a tap. I only made this simple one up to plug onto a working radio for cross referencing a dead radio that is hooked up to my full test gear. I do not trust those little small 5 watt mini dummies that is sold on the market.

Awesome job done Andy! Thanks so much for making that graft up!

Nope did not see a need for any mineral oil. Done some bench testing on her and she seems to be running cool. SWR is flat.

Here is a simple 16 watt 50 Ohm dummy load for your work bench. Parts needed: 8- 100 Ohm 2 watt carbon film resistors 1- Small piece of RG8 50 Ohm coax 1- Small piece of pref board. Not needed but looks better. 1- Med bottle, Or what ever you want to put it in. 1- PL259, I have a quick connector...

Thanks Andy! Looks great buddy!

Had an old Galaxy 919 DX laying around that would not transmit. The light would turn from green to red when keyed up but no TX power. It will not transmit no wattage to the watt meter but it does have enough RF to make the freq counter lite up. On channel 20 I get 26.750. All the voltages check...

Looks great Andy! Thanks for doing the graph for us!

I done a search on this problem on this site and did not find any info about this issue so thought it would be nice to share some info how what the problem could be. I talked to Andy after I repaired this problem to see if he would like to make us some of his cool graphics to help others...

Thanks for the kind words. Yes I am very happy you posted up detailed info for the next person that comes along with the same type of problem. This will make life a lot easier for them! Back in the day I see there use to be a lot of folks helping each other but now you see very little help if...

Yeah where I kick myself in the butt for not checking the voltage while the problem was activated instead of while it was working normal. Could have saved a lot of time and found it from IC6 pins while it was acting up. Live and learn!

And there she blows! Back working like it should be. Wow what a nightmare this has been. Should have replace 6 when I done 7 just for the heck of it. Live and learn! Thanks again for all your help buddy. I hope you have an awesome day!!!

Banded side. Going to replace IC6 now. Standby.

Andy I have found something. When it jumps freq D105 and D106 in the matrix comes alive. Neither should be reading voltage and neither does when it is on normal freq but once it jumps freq both are reading 4.36 volts.
