[Yaesu] QUADRA-REPAIRED

Tue Oct 17 06:57:40 EDT 2006

FIRST of all, it is VERY LIKELY that your QUADRA is WORKING NORMALLY!!---HOW?
 Operator trouble! Flip the little SWITCH on the top rear center of the 
R.F. deck, and see if your "ERROR" message goes away! (Excessive PA Voltage) 
The resistor that failed often fails due to power interruptions during 
operation, which causes rapid RE-START cycles, and overheats and blows this 
"Start-up" resistor, which is not rated for MULTIPLE starts in rapid sequence, or 
starting UNDER LOAD. (Mine also failed, due to problems with a generator I was 
using to power the QUADRA. I fixed it, and added an AC capacitor, so it will 
NOT happen again)-73, KC3VO-Bob Curry
