[TenTec] No transmit on Jupiter - 15 and 17 meters

[Rick Williams]

It sounds like a low-pass filter board relay failure.  The repair /
diagnosis are on my website.

Gang,

Have not had this rig on either of these two bands for some time and 
decided to give them a try today.  Much to my dismay, I found that I am 
not transmitting on either band.

The rig works on all other bands and also receives on 15 and 17 meters.  
When using the  "TUNE" function on the radio, power supply amps increase 
on all bands including 15 and 17.  On a separate receiver, I can also 
hear a weak signal from the Jupiter when transmitting on 15 and 17 meters.

Reset the processor to factory defaults, but no change.  Suspect problem 
with bandpass filter or relay associated with bandpass filter on 15/17 
meters.

Anyone had this problem?

Thanks,

Karl - W5QJ
