Hi All,
I just bought 01 icom ic-v8000 mobile and it's having a strange behavior. Suddenly, the emitted RF power it's not going over 38W at 144-148 Mhz band. Useless to say that I checked whatever is related with antenna feeding, cabling, power supply and so on? Do u belive that is possible that the final power stage is gone (no overeating, burn smell, nothing). Any other idea about what to check? is there a adjustment software for it?
measures w/ bird 43 and 50 ohm dummy load:
136.000 = 50W
146.000 = 40W
148.000 = 38W
156.000 = 37W
160.000 = 09W
166.000 = 05W
174.000 = 03W
Thanks in advance for your help
