[Rover] IC-706 MK2 spikes / amplifier

Fri, 30 Aug 2002 08:37:45 -0400

I  have not noticed any problems in my units when I leave the menu setting
power control on High and go inside the rig and turn the power control  down
to the proper level to drive the amps to the rated output. Just remember
that each band segment has its own power control in the menu settings.
(HF,144, &432 on the G). If possible check with a  scope when reseting the
power and verify that there is no spike. Good luck. Rick  K8DXN

Anyone have any comments on the "spike" at full power that a 706 Mk2 puts
out for the first few milliseconds even when the power control is turned
down?

I need a 432 brick and the comment has come up several times not to use a
lower power input with the power out on the 706 turned down, because the
spike hits the amp at full power at first, possibly damaging, etc.

I need to pick up a mirage or TE, etc for 432 to use rovering.  This is how
the conversation came up again.

I have not heard this come up in a few years, just wondered if this was
still an issue.
