[Collins] Collins 30L-1 misbehavior (Trouble shooting)

[Peter Scheller]

I pulled the tubes and that does not change the problem on hand.
I have to wait till my work let's me take some time off to trouble shoot
further.
Thanks for all the suggestions!

73 and happy Holidays, Peter, NH6VB. ALOHA.

Subject: Collins 30L-1 misbehavior

Hello you Collins Gurus,

My 30L-1 developed an intermittent nasty habit in attenuating my receive
signal
badly as soon as the power switch is on, even without keying the
amplifier.
I suspected dirty relay contacts, but why would this happen by only
switching the power on,
without keying the amp ? The drop in receive signal strength is very
noticeable and returns to normal
as soon the on / off switch is in the off position.

Any thoughts on this subject?

73, Peter, NH6VB. ALOHA.
