Title: Apache project goin well Post by: NR5P on November 16, 2009, 06:29:43 PM Thanks to all of you that have helped me with this apache. I was having problems before and it turned out the meter was giving me false readings. Everytime I tapped the meter it changed what it was telling me so I was having some problems. Luckily it seems that I didn't damage anything after polishing one of the arced caps up. Gary on this board had an extra meter which works great. Tunes up to about 100watts on my meter. FINALLY. I am getting a tad backwords final current when I transmit. and its not modulating much on the meter. I'll figure it out. I do know about the adjustment behind the key and I did turn the modulation bias to 50ma like the manual says with no mic connected. Can't wait to get on the 80 meter AM net soon.
