[1000mp] Need help - Rx has gone deaf !!

[Jochen van Heek]

Hello Steve !


I hope you did also check the RX also after disconnecting everything between
RX and antenna.

Not, that one of the antenna relais or switches has a problem !
At least you also checked the cable or the SWR, didn�t you ?

I�m sorry, that I have to ask, but I also had such a problem during a
contest and it was such an easy fault caused by myself and before I found
it, just 1 1/2 had gone.......!

So please check out other possibilities maybe by connecting a new short
cable to another antenna....!


I have also a nice problem at the moment...!

Normally at DF0CG we use FT1000D and my FT1000MP MARK V.
At the moment, Ben, DL6FBL is doing the CQWW and is using his own FT1000 MP.
The problem: One of his MPs is doing 100W on all bands and one is just doing
10W on 160m but the rest is OK....!
We checked menu 9.? (forget the right number) where you can adjust the TX if
per band, but at both TRX the same.....!

Who can help ???


For interest: Take a look at www.df0cg.de (just in German, sorry), but at
"contest" you will find live web cams....

Regards de Jochen
