Jay,
How sure are you that the transformer is the source
of the problem in the AL-80 ? I've never seen one go yet, though
band switches are temperamental but last long if one doesn't brain fade
and switch it WHILE Transmitting !
What are the symptoms exhibited by the AL-80 ?
Do you have HIGH LINE voltage problems there....if so,m there is
a tap to set on the input to the transformer to deal with that condx.

This address should work. Please pass this around to the guys in
the club<br>
for me. I am sorry about the bad setup.<br>
<br>
At this time none of my gear is not working. The transformer
started<br>
shorting out on the AL-80A, then the transmitter section of the
Omni-V<br>
stopped working and now the transmitter section of the HW-8 has failed
also.<br>
I do not know when I will be able to troubleshoot the gear and get
parts<br>
ordered, but I know that I cannot possibly be ready by next
weekend.<br>
<br>
I am really sorry, because you (not just the club, you personally) have
done<br>
a lot to help me and I feel badly that I cannot be there for you.<br>
<br>
I THINK that the problem with the TenTec is the reed relay for
transmit,<br>
which is a small WABASH 1925-3-2 circuit board mount relay. I need
to make<br>
sure by troubleshooting and then order a couple from TT. This is
the second<br>
relay of this type that has gone, and I am tempted to replace all of them
in<br>
the Omni-5 with new ones, and not see this failure happen again.<br>
<br>
Good luck in the contest.<br>
