[Elecraft] xv222 shuts down

[Dave Glenn]

I have an xv 222 transverter that will shut down after transmitting for
about a minute. 

Using FM for testing. The front panel just goes dark and I need to power
cycle the k3 to get it back. 

 

I am using a K3 to drive both 222 and 432 transverters. 

 

Also, when going through the alignment process, R22 should be between .1 and
10 volts. When I adjust this the voltage will jump from about 7 to 18 volts.


I discovered it had been running at this higher setting and getting about 18
watts output. When I roll the voltage at TP5 down to the correct range I get
almost no output from the xvter. 

 

Any idea's. 

 

All other voltages look ok.
