Palomar 225 keeps blowing fuses when power leads are hooked up
- Thread starter Turbo T
- Start date
Not being a technician and or a smart ass I would not know why but my son told me over this same radio that it sounded as if I were very far away so I'm guessing even though there was no output from the final transistor the drive transistor had enough to transmit 50' at low audio level.
The power meter on the radio would be at 0 and back up just a hair when keyed and receive was perfect before I changed the output transistor.

The radio keys at 3.5 watts and swings to around 16 watts pep and as far as the amp I drove it with my rci-2950dx at that same 3.5 watts and it swings to around 24 watts pep which keys the amp at 20 watts on low with a pep of 80 watts and on high it keys at 50 and swings to 150 watts pep.
I plan to put the amp in my sons car so that's how it will be run and I'll install a fan on the heatsink.
That was actually directed at turbo, if that was a virgin radio then that would be the 1st one I'd ever heard of with the isolator missing from the factory...
i dont recall a 1969 in a 25 2078 is what i have seen there could have been some in the early models ?
