XTL5000 UHF - Dead Power Amplifier (PA)?
Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2019 10:52 am
Hello!
My remote mount UHF mid-power XTL5000 power amplifier seems to have died. No Tx output power measured at the mini-UHF connector. Mounted in a relatively benign environment in the trunk of my car.
Not sure what my options are for the (cost effective) repair of this radio. I do not know how difficult it is to troubleshoot and/or replace the PA module in the radio.
Appreciate any recommendations on repair / troubleshooting.
Thanks very much!
Steve
