I cooked my Titan I this afternoon. I managed to route the output of
my homebrew AM transmitter into the Titan input when the Titan was on
and ready to amplify. It seemed to think that 300 W carrier with 1200
W peak was more than it wanted. POW, smoke, dark. Not much smoke,
just a tiny bit. It did blow a fuse but when I replaced the fuse, the
grid current meter pegged on power on even before the B+ kicked in.
I'm now poking around on the bias board where there seems to be a fried
1/4 W resistor. It will be grand if that's all the damage.
Any advice? Have any of you ever done anything this witless?
