Some time around 3 years ago my TX power went dead on 430. I had picked up a spare RF Unit board for both the 144 and 430 bands on eBay, and finally decided to do the swap on the 430 board while I was making some shack changes.
Upon restart, I was dissapointed to see nothing had changed. 144 is still fine, but when keying up for 430, the meter actually takes a little dip to the left. External power meter also shows zero out. I bypassed my triplexer too just in case, but no joy. I also discovered the 430 RX is gone too when testing with an HT. It probably went with the TX as well, but I didn't remember that.
Any suggestions?
