V6.3 MORE issues

What could cause U2 not to switch on the transmit side??
U1 is working fine, but U2 will not pass the signal to pin 9
I have tried 3 new chips, I have even put U1 into U2 position with the same results.
PTT and PTTN are working fine.
Any ideas?? I am scratching my head!

Hello Andreas,
What should I see at the band lines.
I see the PTT and PTTN switching OK.
Thanks, Chuck

UREKA!!! The problem was the R3d resistor, in the switching bias circuit. It was the wrong value
Thanks for all of your advice!!
Take care, 73,
Chuck

Well, Now I can't get anything out of the driver stage.
VCC is present, signal in is present, but no output at all!!
I have tried brand new drivers but to no avail, same result. Also have pulled the final in case of interaction, same result.
Again, any ideas???
Pulling out my hair now hihi
Thanks, 73, Chuck

Hi Andreas,
Got it working, I just cleared the board in that area and redid it. Now the drivers are working, but it is oscillating on all bands. Full power showing all the time not on freq!
ON to more testing,
This one must be haunted!! hihi
Thanks, Chuck
