my HL V2 B2

[Gilbert Cross]

    Hi, folks, Me again. I am getting hardly any drive from T1, At most 500 uw. Max obtained with slider all the way up. Measured with my W7ZOI meter. Maybe I don't know how to call for power at T1 and power is actually going to PA. May be cleared up when I set bias......

    Using Sparksdr 0-148 and hermeslite.jic

    Have I missed something.

    Waiting on an BN43-202 and want to set bias when T3 is ready.

        Thank you      Gil     K8EAG

Hi Gil,

With Sparksdr, make sure you have the PA disabled to measure power at the low power output. This is in the Radio Settings/PA Control menu, the three ... in the top right corner.

Also, the RF switches can be a challenge to solder properly. Others have had problems here. You may want to check soldering.

Make sure you are using a recent firmware that supports TX.

73,

Steve
