During testing thru a Bird 43 into a dRAKE
During testing thru a Bird 43 to a Drake KW dummy load my Corsair decided to
quit with a bang like a firecracker and a puff of smoke exiting from the 3/8"
hole in the top of the final assembly. The power supply breaker tripped
After I recovered from this sudden turn of events I discovered that I still had
a working transmitte but could only get about 30-45 watts output before the PS
breaker tripped at about 14A or so.
I strongly suspect my Corsair went from a nicely working radio to a "parts
unit" in an instant but decided to touch base with those that are more
comfortable with the events I've described. What likely went astray in the RF
final?
