Hello,

Just got a ts 520 supposedly in decent condition. Receive is fine, however,
when I go to tune the transmit side, plate and load tuning, there is
absolutely no meter deflection. Nothing. I have the SP switch in the back
in the up position but nothing. Any suggestions?

Also, do get an ALC reading of 60ma during the IP tune.

You don't by chance have a key plugged into the key jack in back while
you're doing this and then using the switch on the front panel to trigger
the transmitter?

Got the heater switch for the finals on? Make sure the jumper is in
place on the back connector that supplies screen voltage to the finals.

Just to point out the blatantly obvious, is the Heater switch turn on?

Hi all,

Settings are all good, however, I am seeing some output when I key down the
mike in cw mode. When I go to usb, lsb, I get nothing. I am also using
attic antennas into a tuner. rig-swr meter-tuner

Did you verify that the jumper is in place on the back connector for the
screen voltage for the finals?

Thank you for all of your suggestions. I think it works but there could be
a problem with my set-up. I notice that when I tune the rig, if I key down
my mic when in cw mode, I get some output (neglegible, but pwr nonetheless)
but my swr is off the scale. I have a loaded alpha-delta 40m dipole in the
attic fed with coax as well as a standard 20m dipole in the attic. How do I
tune the rig then tune the antenna? I do not have a dummy load yet but with
my last rig, tuning output was but 3 watts. (A very low power lid I guess,
sorry) Now that I have 100 watts, I may need to purchase a roller
inductance tuner i.e. mfj-969. Any suggestions welcome.

thanks

You don't by chance have the swr meter hooked up backwards.

Just another of those obvious things -- you know to set your meter to
"peak" or "pep" when on sideband, and to "average" when in cw mode?
