It is\nquite old. Also, I have the companion bias-tee or Control Box as Mirage\ncalls it. Also, I have the 70CM Mirage preamp which works really well.\n\nI have contacted MFJ for info and they are very agreeable and they \"need to\ncheck one part numbers, etc.\" but never return a call. When I call them\nback, I get the same very polite and agreeable \"need to check....\". I have\ndone this 3 times without getting any info from them.\n\nThe problem is not in the Control Box - they both work well with the\nworking KP-2 70CM preamp.\n\nHave any of you repaired a KP-2 2M preamp?\n\nDo any of you have a schematic diagram of this preamp?\n\nDo any of you know the part number of the gasfet transistor? (I'm thinking\nits the problem)\n\nDetails: I have cleaned up and tested the preamp. It seems that the\ninternal bias-tee relay is working properly and there are voltages on the\ntransistors that seem to match the working KP-2 70CM preamp. The preamps\nwere mounted on my M2 circularly polarized arrays at a previous QTH.\nPresently, I'm setting up two much smaller antennas and I want to use these\npreamps. I'm reasonably sure its the gasfet transistor. I Googled this\ntopic extensively and I find other hams asking this same question without\nan answer in postings from 2001 to 2012. No schematic and no part number\nfor the gasfet. At $200 each, I want to try to repair it.\n\nAny help would be appreciated.\n\nThanks & 73, Larry W7DGP\n", "attachments": [] }
