Bill Nazdam was right about you, you ARE full of yourself.. dickheaded

Way to go Chuck. Keep coming up with these gems you psuedo christian whack
job.

LOL!! I was going to comment, but You put it so
eloquently.

Frank, you're absolutely right. I was so busy laughing about Bill's
leakage that I missed the previous statement about the fuse not blowing
until the unit went into transmit. I'm in full agreement that the
transistor could not have a hard short and if the bias was excessive...
it certainly could blow the fuse instantly.

Collector-Emitter leakage... LOL
What he's got is a shorted transistor. That's got nothing to do with
leakage.

.......oh brother.

Hint #1: The amp doesn't blow a fuse until it's keyed. If the
transistor was shorted the fuse would blow on power-up. It's not a
shorted transistor.

Hint #2: Excessive quiescient collector current is not definitive of a
C-E leak, nor is it even a likely possibility since the gain of the
transistor would be almost nil, and keying up isn't likely going to
increase the current enough to blow the fuse.

Both of you voodoo-techs missed the obvious and most likely problem:
excessive base bias current. The cause could be a bad bias supply
and/or base shunt, or the other transistor (assuming a push-pull amp)
being blown wide open.

Its amazing the prick keeps coming back after his blathering post about
leaving for good.
Anyway Sharkie, snow up by you yet? calling for it turkey day here.

Well, let me add or define this problem some. Amp on- transistor starts
getting real hot real quick and Will blow fuse.
Amp on and keyed, definate blown fuse. Checked biasing, all
resistors,diodes near and around problem transistor, all ok.


Don't just check the components -- physically test your base bias
current. If there is no series resistance at the base then at least
check the base voltage. And check -both- transistors (without keying
the amp, of course).


Removed
the transistor and power up amp, no problem. Have not keyed the amp in
this state so dont know if it would blow the fuse.


Don't. Assuming it's a push-pull amp (i.e, two transistors) you do
-=NOT=- want to key the amp with only one transistor.


Tested trans with
dvm in diode check, get readings from base to emitter and base to
collector no matter how the test leads are applyed.


Sounds like you checked them in-circuit. Won't work. You have to pull
the transistors in order to test them. Ideally, you should pull -both-
transistors and compare them to each other.


Ill be the first to
admit I am no tech, but it seems to me its shorted internaly some how.
As I say, Im no tech, just learning. Any help I can get I can sure use.
Thanks again, Bill


Since you little or no experience with these things, you should be
aware that ceramic RF transistors are made with Beryllium, a very
poisonous material. If the ceramic 'pill' is damaged in any way you
could be risking your health.

Just thought you should know.....

Nope. Month started wet with snow at Tahoe, but since then
dry and warm.
