magnum s9 9821r20
no tx output only slight rf getting to pa stage.
finals ,driver,predriver,pre-predriver all pulled and checked good tr56/43/44/45/46
wet finger on the balanced modulator pins (ic3) about 20w out or on the pre-pre driver 60w output
i think the issue is where the red wire comes from rear to a transistor on the front solder side next tied into the fm full power diode d506 as if i fit a diode i get 5w output on fm and am nothing on ssb (i can hear my self on a near by radio but not enough rf to drive the pa stage )
looking for a block diagram and a voltage chart so i can continue
(have contacted pallomar and no reply)
c122 also tested good and 8v feed to ic 3 (not the an612 i have on my diagrams but a standoff board with i guess an upgraded version )
