Never experienced that after doing this mod. Fortunately, you can buy the HD version, now.
Presumably the HD version has no driver?
That is correct. [edit] Actually, no. That’s incorrect. The driver is still there. I believe they’ve attenuated the input. I don’t understand why they just...
100% there is a lot of input swr with this mod unfortunately, I’ve tried tweaking the coils with no success so far.

Am signal didn’t look too bad when the AM (attenuation) button was pressed. Only 3w carrier and 9w pep input. Slightly under modulated. I’d recommend 2.5w carrier and 10w pep. Very efficient amp.
The original post questioned why the ssb dropped the rf power. As mentioned by several, the ssb...
Thanks for that. We will see what happens with various input level and a two-tone signal. I figured there had to be something to that. It doesn’t make any sense, whatsoever, to make the switch a “dual-purpose” switch unless they have good reason.
Thanks, Jeff. The initial poster of
Thank you, Jeff. It sure is an awkward design. It appears I can simply bypass the ssb delay (and accompanied resistor) by adding a jumper between pin 2&3 on that gang. This will give me full power but also give me a delay at all times. I can install a toggle...
35 Watt input SSB to Taxes Star DX350 @ 13.8v.
338 Watts Peak Envelope Power. Working perfectly. However, once the sideband delay is pressed on the amp, power is cut down 100 watts.
Similar issue w/ AM carrier. 3W input=140w out (seems high) When AM button is pressed, power drops. I just...
First, I would never run the radio with a low drive amp. A low drive amp is one that has a driver inside to run the final section ie the 1x4. You can run that stryker with your dx400. There is no reason you can’t put a 5 watt dead key into that amp. People always talk about 1 watt dead key and...
