Saber 1 burning up
Posted: Fri Nov 03, 2017 7:46 am
Hi guys,
I have a few ones on the Sabers.
I have a 136-150MHz Saber1 Securenet-S which will not x-mit at all. First I thought it was due to the missing secure module and therefore I fitted a dummy to it which didn´t solve the problem. Then I added a DES module still no difference. Okay then maybe the PA so I switched that one to a 148-162MHz and replaced both FDS and the Synthesizer so that they fit the PA. Still won´t x-mit but Frq goes as high as 171MHz on the RX side except for poor reciever performance. I noticed that the radio kinda kills a battery in a few hours and the back of the radio gets warm (not very warm) and it seems to be around where the Synthesizer is located.
What is wrong with this radio? Can I swap parts to a UHF Board (have two 70cm radios) or are they band specific in any way?
Thanks in advance.
