Hey all, My Stalker 9 has developed a problem. If I dead key on SSB it gives a dead carrier on full power, Needle sits around 9+ not 0. Anyone got any ideas? UKFM and everything else is fine.
Cheers...Rich

Re: Stalker 9 issue
Could be something as simple as carefully tightening the screws that hold the PCB to the chassis. Or there could be stray RF floating round inside the rig.NightProwler wrote: ↑05 Jun 2022, 16:11 Hey all, My Stalker 9 has developed a problem.

First port of call. Remove the top case from the radio then transmit on SSB. 9 times out of 10 the carrier will have vanished. This is also a good opportunity to tighten the PCB fixing screws.
Never, ever, ever....bloody anything ever!
Far too many radio's to list here. But I do own a legal one...

Cheers for that. I tightened all the screws but still the same. I had a problem with a Cobra 148 years ago and tightening the screws fixed it but not this time.

Re: Stalker 9 issue
I'd love to know why this suddenly starts happening on radios that were previously working fine .
There's a good little mod that ch25 gave me using a cap and resistor over the final that worked for me . If you need the info I´ll dig it out .
