Disaster struck
Posted: Thu Nov 19, 2020 7:57 pm
Hello friends
Couple of days ago while I was participating in WAE RTTY contest, weather turned little rough and it was raining and occasional thunder and suddenly my monitors flickered and my Anan 8000 switched off. It would not switch on even after disconnecting power cord and connecting it again. I pulled the plug of power supply and plugged back in, radio come to life and self test was passed but radio would not connect to my PC. I used my laptop and it did not make any difference. I checked the PC's network connection and device manager did not find onboard network chip and it shows it under hidden devices though. So seems network chip burned out and similar fate for ANAN. I dont know if spike came through AC line. Using Belkin extension board that comes with spike busters.
Radio does not show up in HPSDR programmer or bootloader.
Any help is highly appreciated.
PC network is working again as I bought a TP link USB3 to gigabit adaptor UE300.
Thanks for reading this msg and any possible pointers in getting it back to life.
