    Amp Supply LK-5200zc cap question

    Just looked. Them suckers aint cheep! If I get a big enough 15kv or higher 500pf that should work to. (In theory) Gonna try that instead of getting 5 100pf's.

    Icom IC-2720

    So the stripline in the module could be the problem? Does this act like a fuse? I dont think I had an swr problem. I have been running another radio in it's place no problems for 2 months now no issues.

    Icom IC-2720

    Hello, I have an Icom 2720 that developed a transmitting problem. It transmits less than 1 watt of power on both uhf and vhf bands no matter what power setting it is on.
