In Case Of Difficulties; Does Not Transmit Or Receive At All; Nothing Lights Or Seems To Work; Receives Ok, Does Not Amplify Transmit - Mirage B 1018 R Instruction Manual

5.0 IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
Always be sure the power is connected properly (section |.2) and the RF connections are correct
(section 1.3).
5.1 DOES NOT TRANSMIT OR RECEIVE AT ALL
Does the radio work OK with the amplifier removed from the system and replaced with a barrel
connector without changing anything else? If so, read section 1.2. The coax connectors that
attach to the amplifier, or the amplifier, may be the problem.
If the radio does NOT work ok, you probably have a bad jumper cable or bad coaxial cable.
5.2 NOTHING LIGHTS OR SEEMS TO WORK
Check the power wiring and fuses. The amplifier has an internal fuse also.
Read section 1.2
5.3 RECEIVES OK, DOES NOT AMPLIFY TRANSMIT
Does your radio transmit OK without the amplifier removed and replaced with a barrel
connector? If not, see 1.3, 2.4, 4.4,
Is SWR okay, both with the amplifier in-line and out-of-line? See 3.5,4.6
5.4 CONTINUOUSLY TRIPS FAULT LIGHT
Check transmitter power. Be sure to check the PEAK power, because some radios transmit a
pulse greatly exceeding the continuous power. If your radio has this problem, it is unsuitable for
any amplifier because it will eventually damage the amplifier's transistors. See sections
2.1,3.1,and 4.2
Check the SWR and reflected power. Look for bad cable connections. See sections 1.3, 2.4, 3.5,
and 4.6
5.5 RELAY CHATTERS OR CLICKS OFF AND ON
RADIO and ANTENNA leads are reversed
Drive power is too low (under 2 watt)
