[1000mp] No output on 17/15M

[Whitney Tritch]

15 and 17 meters are tied on the LPF board.  I once transmitted in 15 meters with no antenna at full power and I literally blew up a cap on the LPF.  This is only a start for you and I hope that is not the problem.  I think if you have run the rig at a high SWR on those bands for a while your problem may be there.  I hope it is just a simple problem.  I can talk you through the repair if this is indeed the problem.

I was going to operate on 17M today and was using the internal tuner to
tune the dipole. The tuner did not seem to want to tune and took a long
time. The antenna SWR is not too high, about 2:1. Then when it stopped
tuning there was no power output on 17M. I checked the other bands and
there is also no output now on 15M. All other bands are ok.

Any ideas where to look?

Thanks and 73,
Ken VA3KA
