[JRC] JST-245 wierd on 160 meters

[Kenny K2KW]

Hi Chris!

Only thing that comes to mind is that maybe you blew 
the 160m bandpass filter inside the radio (maybe one 
of the capacitors?).  

Didn't something similar happen to you Icom way back 
when?

Nuther thought...  if the 160m TX path has an active 
circuit someplace, the bypass capacitor on the bias 
side of this 160m tuned circuit might have opened up.  
Thus making the transistor end the low impedance end, 
causing suck-out in the middle of the band.  Just a 
thought.
