[VHFcontesting] SSB Electronics 1270-100B 1296Mhz amp problem

[Christopher S Peightal]

I have a SSB Electronics 1270-100B 1296Mhz amp that is having a problem with keying itself up intermittingly without any RF drive.  It does it when RF sensed or hard keyed.  The amp takes a regular mono audio connector for hard keying and when I move the connector around or rotate it while plugged into the amp it keys it up sometimes.  Almost like there is a bad connection for the hard keying connector on the amp side.  I sent the amp back to SSB Electronics with no luck and I don't know anyone else who specializes in repairing this kind of amp.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks, Chris, KA3ZLS.
