[TowerTalk] Sixpack Relay

[James Wolf]

Jorge,

>From your description, it sounds like it is only happening on 160 meters and
when transmitting.  Make sure that the power supply voltage doesn't drop
when in transmit.
For some reason, there might not be enough voltage on the relay to hold it
in.  This could be due to voltage drop in the cable, not enough power supply
voltage, a loose connection or a bad relay or a combination of all of these.
I don't recall whether there is a diode across the relay or not, but if you
are getting enough RF on the cable the diode could be turning on and
dropping the voltage across the relay terminals.

Hello

I have a sixpack. Now when transmitting in 160 mts I heard that the relay
click, don?t know exactly what happens, but seems radio continue
transmitting with the KW.  What will be happening that the relay of the
sixpack, only in this band, do that?

Thanks,

Jorge
