I guess I did only reach Roger......
Now for all contesting.com
If your 897 only siwitches for one second. Hearing relais switching, dsiplay
backlight flashing. There is a big chance there is a short in the 8V
circuit.
I had two radios with a defect capacitor, unfortunatelt there are about 20
of these capacitors which in are all kind of parallel to each other. Finding
the shorted cap wil take unsoldering a lot of caps.
I simply ran quite a large current (8V 0.5A) directly coupled to the 8V
regulator output. This is a dangerous way, but the only way your short will
heat-up and show it self.
This dangerous trick is described on mods. dk website.
