[ICOM] Icom PW-1 Failures - How To

[Bruce J. Howes]

Icom 765 and resonant 160 meter dipole.

Something is not right about the nature of this failure, even if it did have
a mismatch it should not repeatly damage the resistor.

Seems the fault occurs when the rig tuner, not the PW-1's tuner is used.

That must be quite a load.  What are you running for an exciter and antenna?

Guess you just can not use the rig's internal antenna tuner with the PW-1.
Zorched the SWR resistor again, R7.
 
Poor design.
