Hi Tony, There have been numerous posts of problems where Q90 (part of the transmitter driver) is damaged by close high-power RF sources. I would expect that during a multiple station field day setup.

Successfull SOTA activation this afternoon. Clipped ferrites onto coax and mic, even added a separate choke - which later proved unnecessary, and problem solved. No freezing or other strange results.

John measure Q90 base to emitter junction, if close to zero it has shorted. I measured about 500ohms. This will cause no output and loss of receive and it is still in circuit during receive. Skip Davi
