Mine just died again today. It was working fine around noon and then started acting funny with display dimming on key up and making a buzzing sound. I shut it off and looked over my system and found nothing so I powered back up and went to 27.185 AM to check SWR on low power and found I had no output no matter where I set the power and radio just buzzes when keyed. I disconnected it and hooked up my old Galaxy dx88 and found my swr off the scale on my meter so I began searching again, I visibly found nothing but my antenna will not tune below 3 SWR anywhere? I put up the old Imax and SWR's tuned up great. My 2016 had never seen more than about 400 watts and had not seen an amp inline in a while. We did have snow here 2 days ago but it didn't affect anything then so why 2 days later? It's still below freezing here also. If the 88 goes down I'm off the air as I have cleaned house and traded a lot of stuff to fund a new fishing Kayak. Please Uncle Sam send me my refund soon!{Cry_river}{Cry_river}
This will be the third time it has went down.

[QUOTE="BammBamm, post: 343984, member: 13448"] Mine just died again today. It was working fine around noon and then started acting funny with display dimming on key up and making a buzzing sound. I shut it off and looked over my system and found nothing so I powered back up and went to 27.185 AM to check SWR on low power and found I had no output no matter where I set the power and radio just buzzes when keyed. I disconnected it and hooked up my old Galaxy dx88 and found my swr off the scale on my meter so I began searching again, I visibly found nothing but my antenna will not tune below 3 SWR anywhere? I put up the old Imax and SWR's tuned up great. My 2016 had never seen more than about 400 watts and had not seen an amp inline in a while. We did have snow here 2 days ago but it didn't affect anything then so why 2 days later? It's still below freezing here also. If the 88 goes down I'm off the air as I have cleaned house and traded a lot of stuff to fund a new fishing Kayak. Please Uncle Sam send me my refund soon!{Cry_river}{Cry_river} This will be the third time it has went down. [/QUOTE]
