Connect the radio to an ammeter. When keying the mic, the current should jump to 4–6 Amps. If it stays under 1 Amp, the PA stage is not engaging.
Remove the screws securing the main PCB to the cast-aluminum chassis. Note that the final RF power transistor is held against the chassis with a bracket or specific screws to ensure heat dissipation; remove these carefully. 4. Common Failure Modes & Troubleshooting Problem 1: No Power / Dead Radio qyt kt7900d service manual
Blown Final RF Power Amplifier (PA) transistor or failed driver stage. Fix: Connect the radio to an ammeter
136–174 MHz, 220–260 MHz, 350–390 MHz, 400–480 MHz, and FM radio (88.1–108 MHz). TX (Transmit): 144–148 MHz, 222–225 MHz, 420–450 MHz. Power Supply: Designed for . Do not use a 24V power supply. Remove the screws securing the main PCB to
