Glad you are doing well thanks for the update and your time and work. Good luck with your hunting, my brother-in-law and my sister were great hunters had several areas that they looked after.
Thank you Manuel. Weller is a major brand in the USA, possibly THE major brand. Weller soldering guns of about 200 watts have been popular here for all sorts of purposes for at least 60 years, back when I wanted a soldering iron for Christmas in 1963 to do electronics soldering, but my father bought me a 200 Watt Weller gun because that was the only sort of soldering device he was aware of other than a propane torch. Fortunately, most of what I was building was tube (valve) gear back then so I managed to do it with the gun without much problem. By the time I was working with semi-conductors on PCB's I'd purchased my own soldering pencil, and had the big gun to solder onto chassis and such, so it all worked out.
Great video, nice to visit these topics! My unit was prebuilt, and arrived working perfectly, but if I had done the build myself, I would probably have made many repairs!
Hello! I am very happy with the (tr)uSDX! Thank you! Btw, I am a hunter too. It seems, some Ham‘s like to be in the nature as hunter 😂. Wmh, OE3TBR, Thomas
Vielen Dank für deine Arbeit👍 Nicht nur für dieses Video, sondern für das ganze Projekt. Ich freu mich auf die folgende Teile, auch wenn mein (tr)uSDX bis jetzt keine Probleme macht... 73 DO2AHS
Thanks for doing these troubleshooting videos. I have not gotten my trusdx to work and I am hoping that with these videos I will be able to troubleshoot what I messed up.
Welcome back broham! Have a classic band with fdt86256 which worked , then one day forgot to add a dummy load and capoot, no swr readings, but still transmits fine O.o Haven’t played with it in a while , I’m much more of a ham now . Will have to go back and see what’s a matter
Are you sure, there´s actually output power ? Did you confirm it with external measurement ? 99,9% PA FET gone.... 73 Manuel; DL2MAN P.S: Broham.... Cool, never heard that before ;)
One thing I do, is to put the dummy load as near to the oscilloscope as possible, using a BNC T Piece, to avoid reflections on the 1 Meter testing coax cable. This was not neccessary in this case though.
Enjoyed the video Manuel. Troubleshooting skills are good to develop. I am looking forward to future episodes in this series. Enjoy the hunting. Are you hunting with the raptors? 73, Patrick KF4LMZ
Hi Patrick, no I´m not hunting with the raptors. That´s my wifes birds and hobby. Very fun to watch, but not efficient at all. I´m hunting with rifle. Mainly roe deer and boar. Sometimes red deer. 73 Manuel; DL2MAN
Thanks for doing this Manuel. Yes, Weller is still a big thing also this side of the big lake. I keep mine from the days when I was on Tech school, and take care of it. It is basically being replaced by Chinese tools and becoming hard to get replacement tips. You are basically connecting the Scope directly to the output of the Dummy load? I mean... after the diode that is intended to be used to measure via a DMM? 73 Rob. YS1RS.
I connect the oscilloscope to the "hot" side of the resitors. After the diode, there would not be a sine anymore. basically "in parallel" to the 50 Ohms.
Als ich ein Kind war, brachten mich mein Großvater und mein Vater in den 80er-Jahren zum Jagen in den Schwarzwald, und hier in den Staaten jage ich immer noch jedes Jahr ein Reh.
Thanks, I don´t have a channel for that. I´m just hunting ;) Some things just need to be enjoyed, without a cam..... Even though I agree, it might be interesting to see how stuff evolves.... 73 Manuel; DL2MAN

Thanks again - you really make informative videos! Beer for you when next in London Dave G4NOW
For electric soldering irons, Weller really can't be beat (IMHO) - and they also make really good butane soldering irons, as well.
Try out JBC
Now, for desoldaring tools Hakko

I too am a hunter and understand your passion. Be safe and best success.
I hunt as well. Good luck! I have one of your radios as well! I spend a lot of my time helping others as I can. Look forward to other videos!
Manuel, it's great to have a new video from you! Hope life apart from (tr)uSDX has been really good for you.
This is wonderful series. I have not had any problems, but for troubleshooting this is perfect. Thanks for all the well thought support.
Thank you Manuel.

Weller is here in the US, too. My first simple soldering iron was a Weller.

Thanks Manuel, a great series. I never ever got my uSDX to work and gave up, Hopefully I'll learn how to repair mine!
Great to see you again! Thank you!

Manuel ... love this series already Sir!
thanks Manuel .. useful and informative video...
my impression has been that Weller is like the grandfather old highly respected brand here in the states
great video! thanks
Oh what model of scope are you using?

Beer ?
