[TenTec] Omni-VI+, No Xmit on 15m & 17m

[Jim C]

Current consumption is high, even at low settings.

 

As I increase the power, it jumps from 5 amps to 20 as the power dial reaches about the 40% position (1100 or 1200).

 

Then if I increase power past that, the safety in the Ten Tec power supply kicks in and turns everything off.

 

Again, this only happens on 15 and 17 meters.

Hi Jim,

Does the current consumption go up as you turn the power knob to the right? I'm thinking of an issue in the LPF filter as Gary mentions.
