Monday 16/01/2012

The Monday night radio play session was well attended.

We tested a couple of ATU’s for Colin. The MFJ unit worked fine however we did open it and check all the screw were tight. We found the inductor switch needed tightening but apart from this all works well.



The second ATU was a Yaesu FC-707 which had metering problems. The two diodes in the metering circuit go leaky and need replacing.  I could not remember the replacement value so  told Colin he would need to contact Robin at Sycom for the correct replacements.



We did try and do some HF operating but the bands were dead. Our best contact was Reading, only 50 miles away.

That the end of the night we ended up having a discussion on computer problems and there fixes.

Next Monday Andy is bringing his Kenwood TS-2000 for us to have a play with.
