Hi all

I purchased the SG-230 about 4 years ago. I took it out of its box
yesterday for the first time and tested it out on a light bulb as a
dummy load and all worked fine. It found a match on all HF bands.
I connected it to an antenna today and it would not tune. It would not
reset with the Smartlock. I took the back off the 230 and noticed when
I apply the 13.8 Volts all the relays click once and they
all stay in that position until I disconnect the power and if I apply
RF, 10-80 watts when the 230 is powered up it does nothing, it doesn't
even attempt to tune.. I have also tried 2 lengths of 10ft wire and it
does nothing.
There are five LED's inside that are all on (green).

Does anyone know what is causing this problem?

I recommend you email your question to SGC. My recent experience
with them shows they are fairly good at replies to questions, although
you may have to wait a day or two for an answer.
