A new HAM bought a couple HF rigs and I went over today and brought portable antenna to check them out and help her get acquainted with what she picked up. She got a Yaesue 450d and a TenTec Jupiter, she thought he told her the Icom worked good and the TenTec wouldn't transmit (he was older I think he was confused) we setup the Icom to look things over and it has no power coming to the antenna hookup, so we set that aside and setup the TenTec. That one looked good, had power on my meter n stuff but now I have questions!
1. What would cause the 450d to stop transmitting? Talked to a member of my club that has one that did the same thing, just out of nowhere it had no power. He did give us a guy to send it to for repairs tho!
2. The Jupiter has a (manual) but it dont seem to be very helpful as far as details of what controls do what and what not. Anyone able to give me layman's terms of how to operate the beast?
Thanks for any input you can give
