So one of my best friends in the world recently fell ill. He suffered an enormous stroke about 2 weeks ago. He's in the hospital right now and if he recovers this is going to be some journey. If you guys could take a minute and just look at his GoFundMe and pass it along on your social media I'd...

Oh...ok. i thought you were going to fiddle with the power supply side.

So what did you wind up doing?

This is pretty funny to me.

I mean yes the cheapest thing to do would be to get some tubing get some hardware get another gamma match and make it into a 4 + 4. On the other hand by the time you take the antenna down and do all the work and source all the parts yes it'll be cheaper but you could probably just take your...

You have a power supply issue. Buy a meanwell or better yet a megawatt brand

Who makes the supply

You can buy dc supplies on amazon for $19 each that will give you a solid 25a regulated. Buy a bunch, put them in parallel. Problem solved.

How did da wire the supply? Was it a full wave rectifier? Was it a doubler?

There are alot of stupid people in the world. Having a badge doesn't mean you have any special intelligence or knowledge of the laws. My best friend had a similar experience. He got pulled over years ago because he had an antenna on his car. Not speeding, no broken tail lights, it was the...

Aint transistors fun?

That's an old amplifier man

I had a serious issue over here about 18 years ago, I had a customer at the time who bought a five pill base amp. He didn't really have any interference problems but he had noise that came through on his transmission. I blamed the power supply and a million other things and after going through...

The likely culprit is the preamp circuit. It functions as a switchable device in and out of the bypass of the main relay.

I think there is a singular diode all by itself on the metering board by the front. Usually they always break open when there are problems like this, or shorted tubes etc. check to see if its still there.

Tubes are easier. Once people get a chance to experience how fun these hg transistor amps are, they usually wind up buying a tube amp after they dick around with it long enough .

The next step in diagnosis is going to be to remove connections on the relay except for the one to the jacks, and start using a meter to check for continuity in and out of the relay keyed and unkeyed to make sure the signal is getting through the relay

Bad relay or something disconnected

So the way that I'm reading this, it sounds like the bypass works when the box is off. But when you put the on switch on the relay automatically comes on and you no longer have a bypass and it's going into the amplifier correct? If that's the case then your keying circuit is bad. The relay...
