Agreed, but in comparison to a Timewave, it was no comparison.

Perhaps go through the bias alignment procedure, before you pack it in.

109 is not a FET....but the other gate voltages look somewhat right. Maybe finals are a bit low and driver a bit high and I mean a bit.

Shotgunning = replace everything and hope for the best.

Have you shotgunned the FET's yet?

Red to gate, black to source or a ground point. In SSB TX, you should be seeing around 4V give or take a few tenths of a volt.

That's the major difference. You buy from Radioddity, you get support and warranty. You buy elsewhere, you buy and then you are dead to them. To get the short version,you have to order it directly from the Radioddity website. I also want to note, the radio did not come with a programming cable.

I have not touched the QT-60 Pro and I have a fully complemented service bench with real test equipment. It *IS* good straight out of the box.

It does not *need* anything done. Anyone that disagrees, is peddling snake oil.

Very real indeed. I posted comparison photos of the long and short chassis in the thread.

I believe so.

I have done the Larsen, Maxrad and Laird 30-34 MHz coil with longer whip. It isn't worth it. I had better luck with an efficient 26-30 MHz shunt fed antenna.

9 13/16"

I use dental floss!

4 watts in less than 50 out, probably more like 25 safely. It's one tube, not going to set the world on fire with that.

It was me, today, I would choose between QT-60 Pro, AT-6666 Pro or Icom IC-7300. The Icom is not a toy and in another class.

Yeah, it's a Firebird single 6LQ6.

Yes, in place while transmitting on SSB, no modulation.

I doubt the 8 volt reg is bad, but I cant say the same for the PA devices. I don;t recall if you did, but have you checked the gate voltages on the IRF520's? Oh, and don't use 13N10's

The firmware that was developed for the Q6P, evolved from firmware issues in the Q5N2 that you have now. The Q5N2, was *supposed* to get updated in January of this year. That did not happen. What did happen, was that the issues were corrected in the Q5N2 Short/QT60P and Q6P. The RX AGC time...
