<font face="Verdana">Well, there is much sadness around my QTH
today... I think I killed my TS-2000.<br>
<br>
I've had my TS2000 for a few months now and I'm loving it! The
only issue I've had with it was on a very hot day last month it
did shutdown (power off) during xmit. It came back on almost
immediately. It happened a few times that day. I caulked it up to
a thermal protection shutdown.<br>
<br>
Today, which was quite mild by comparison, it happened again. Only
this time, it did not come back on. It is completely dead - no
response to power button at all. I had done a pretty heavy FT8
session earlier in the hour (I work FT8/4 almost exclusively) but
was working a POTA site on SSB at the time of the shutdown (sorry.
HI8PAP - I didn't mean to disappear in the middle of the QSO!).
The fan was running at the time, which is normal, but the radio
did not seem at all warm.<br>
<br>
I've confirmed the voltage on the supply cable (at the radio
connector), disconnected everything else, and tried a Full Reset -
nada. The AT was activated and I had recently done a tune on the
active band. The SWR meter on the radio barely moved during xmit.
There were no obvious 'POP's or signs of the magic smoke, just the
normal power-off sound.<br>
<br>
Is it dead, Jim? Anyone know a good repair tech?<br>
