Last night I tried some local 137kHz tests using my 137kHz beacon. Then it blew up!! I could smell burning and the transmission stopped.
This means I cannot do my test unless I can repair my beacon. Also, to be so badly damaged it suggests the match is poor and the heatsink inadequate.I think this puts an end to my tests at 137kHz.
UPDATE 0929z: In a vain hope, as my FT817ND was widebanded when I bought it, I tried directly TXing on MF and LF. It said "TX err", so no luck!
