[bars] Insight found for my UHF/VHF mobile

[Joanne Dolan]

Hello again,

I finally have a moment to update you all on my QYT KT-7900d mini mobile
radio that works on simplex with another radio close by, but stopped
reaching the repeaters.

I was able to bring it to another ham's station, put a dummy load, power,
and a watt meter on it. The meter didn't read any output of power at all.
Yes, we tested the meter with another radio before using it on mine. :)
Therefore, we concluded that the power amp is not operating. We also
concluded that since the part is surface mounted, the unit is very small,
it's soldered underneath as well as on top of the board, and we'd have to
take the world apart to replace the power amp, I would be better off
obtaining a new mobile for my shack.

In the meantime, I've borrowed a Yaesu FT-2400 that I haven't had a chance
to hook up to my power supply yet. Can't wait to discover how to program it
and get on the air!

Thanks again for all of your help and support. Catch you soon on the air!

73!!!
