A switching regulator in the exciter's DC power supply was oscillating and causing many, many spurs. The transmitter is back in service now. ---------- I recounted some of the signal strengths quoted and the fact that Mal could hear it all day............. ---------- Yes, and am really impressed by the range. Often our end-users (the ships) will complain that they just can't hear the signal. Now I can tell them to listen more carefully (HI). ----------------------- I dont know whether the 'problem' indicated that the mod we were seeing was a fault condition or whether the problem occured during service and caused it to be taken off. Still it looks like it should be back this evening. Cheers de Alan G3NYK JO02PB Alan.Melia@btinternet.com
