Texas Star Modulator V-Plus
Ernest Jones
I got a problem with this linear, I power it up, key the mic and depending
on where I have the gain turned to I either have no power or when I talk, I
have power but the audio is very distorted, turning the thing wide open
usually creates feedback, wanting to know what my problem might be, could it
be the final blown?

'Doc
Ernest,
I seriously doubt if it's blown finals. Sounds
more like RF feed back and maybe over driving the
amplifier. If you've had any of the filtering, AMC,
etc, 'clipped', restore them, they really are there
for a purpose...

watts and set the varible at the 3 o'clock setting.

Sounds like the typical cb splatter box.

No It sounds like the deadkey is to low, He is getting no power then when he
talks it is distorted the peak to carrier ratio is way to high turn up
deadkey on the radio and Ill bet you 3 to one that is your problem.

Mr. No Code Tech needs to go back to his hammie group.
BTW, Of course that modulator is a splatterbox, it's class C.
Ernest, go get a TS-250.

JJ just troll troll trolls away, the sad thing is that if you read him
on the other news groups, he never is really technically correct. Just
mostly echoing rhetoric that he has heard, and obviously doesn'y
understand. Pretty sad.

ill give you a little history on that thing and how I got it, a guy got the
linear from someone else...he didn't know if it worked, so when he got it, I
hooked it up in his truck, his SWR was already too high for anything useful
(I told him to get another antenna before he hooked that linear up but he
didn't listen), the linear worked for about a week in his truck and that was
all she wrote, the thing wouldn't power up or anything, when I got it, the
linear would power up and of course it would do what its doing now, I did
find one burnt up resistor which -appears- to be a biasing resistor for the
final

'Doc
Ernest,
It would have certainly helped to know that there
was something wrong with the amplifier at the beginning.
Until you have it repaired, what do you expect besides
a crappy signal? If you want 'good' answers, quit playing
games and give ~all~ the pertinent information.

Scottie, why Is it the keyclowns like to accuse people who have nothing to
do with the matter at hand. JJ is not VHF Radio Buff. Yet you and your bunch
of hypocrites openly accuse any one you don't agree with of being something
or someone they are not. Before you make a fool of your self look at his Ip
and header info then look at vhf radiobuffs. Then next time you won't look
as big a jackass.10-4 Good Buddy?

will guarantee you sound 100% better.

charred resistor until ~after~ I posted to the NG about the linear problem,
the unit will produce around 65-70 watts at 4 watts modulation out my
radio...it just sounds horrible...which is useless to me. and since the
linear was "given" to me, whether it works again or not, I haven't lost any
sleep or worries over it.

What do you care?

watt to 1 watt would be better. if your radio has a super mod/npc mod that
mnakes it dead key really low and swing really high then it wont work well at
all with that amp.

Neither am I a no-code tech. I passed the code requirements long
before most of these snot-nosed children band kiddies were born.
