MSR2000 vhf problems
Posted: Thu Apr 08, 2004 5:07 pm
I have a vhf MSR2K that has problems (possible lightning damage), and to further compound the problem I can't find the manual or the Moto test set. The unit is not TX or RXing. I can see the exciter on my monitor but when I key the unit it goes away. Not making power (obviously) but the PA is getting warm. If I remove the RX input line from the backplane and inject a signal there I get RX. My first thought is the antenna relay. I figured I could come right out of the PA into my wattmeter but I get nothing there either, so that's why I'm not 100% on it being the relay. I seem to have the 9.6 key voltage on the little PA plug- in fact it's there all the time. Power supply seems okay, at least no blown fuses. Of course, if I had the test meter I could tell more about proper voltages in proper places. Short of getting a new meter, any ideas?
