[HamBrewers] Bitx G6LBQ kit build

 

Hello all

Does anyone have experience with this kit, G6LBQ multi-band bitx? Iv finished the build but, had some really strange reading with my DMM, all the way, through the build.

Firstly, I thought it was the battery, which seemed very low so it was changed. Secondly, I started using analogue current and volt meters, which helped me diagnose the problem. Thirdly, I realised that the voltage had become negative on the board, I have checked all the components and this was the same, right the way across the build. Lastly, I have checked the bench power supply that was used and, the polarity is good. Basically, if I reverse the +ive and -ive from the supply to PCB then, I can normally measure the voltage. This was so weird...

Its so strange how the voltage has been completely inverted when routed through the populated PCB. Has anyone come across this before, maybe with a bitx? Any ideas on this problem would be greatly appreciated.
