    Phillip TrevinoAug 14, 2025
    Why is the C or G waveform not satisfactory on my Nautel XR6?
    • M
      Mrs. Anita Bell DDSAug 15, 2025
      If the C or G waveform is not a rectangular wave from 0 to 24 V, it indicates that the PA (Power Amplifier) associated with the unsatisfactory waveform is defective. The suggested solution is to replace the PA.

    How to troubleshoot if resistance measurement in Step 1 is greater than 1.0 MΩ in Nautel XR6?
    • M
      meganjonesAug 21, 2025
      If the resistance measurement in Step 1 is greater than 1.0 MΩ, it indicates that the modulator assembly associated with the RF power block is likely defective, specifically that it contains defective MOSFETs. Replace the suspect modulator assembly.

    What to do if the Temp/Inhibit alarm LED will not turn off and on as indicated in Nautel XR6 Transmitter?
    • E
      erin90Aug 28, 2025
      If the Temp/Inhibit alarm LED does not turn off and on as expected, it indicates a fault within the alarm circuitry on the RF drive control PWB. This fault must be repaired before proceeding.

    How to troubleshoot if resistance measurement in Step 4 is not satisfactory in Nautel XR6 Transmitter?
    • K
      Kimberly TaylorAug 31, 2025
      If the resistance measurement in Step 4 is not satisfactory, sequentially remove the modulator assembly and both RF amplifiers associated with the suspect RF power block.

    What to do if PA volts to ground impedance measurement is less than 77 kΩ in Nautel XR6?
    • M
      Melissa LoweSep 4, 2025
      If the PA volts to ground impedance measurement is less than 77 kΩ, disconnect connector P1 from J1 of the RF drive control PWB and repeat the resistance measurement.
