what are you asking on the stryker? and is it a V1 or V2?

got a ball park number? I wouldn't know what to offer.

yes 4 pill only driving with 980ssb, meter on the 2000w scale. didn't do any more being driven it was minimal on the meter.

Ok, that makes sense just like finding a misfire on a truck, I will swap the caps as you stated the brown ones first then move to the smaller ones going to ground off the pill, A BBI video I watched where an amp was doing something similar just wasn't as low output as this thing and it was bad...

I'll have to check the splitter tomorrow.

First one deal key second is audio

sorry I thought the combiner was the spliter, what does the spliter look like where does it solder into? I will look into a capacitance meter, Is that the same as the meter that tests the pf or ''puff'' of the cap? I have an after-market voltage gauge I'm not using the one on the cluster, it...

Sorry, I split it up into three replies. I’m doing this on my phone again. But the resistors going over the pill sections did heat up.

As far as the heat on the pills go, I can really only noticed one of the pills, not getting quite as hot as the other three. Far left in picture, bottom of the heat sink is also pretty hot comparable to the first three pills.

Thanks for your replys they have been helpful, just did some more transmitting and yes, the resistors over the pill sections are heating up. I have made more contacts with my 2 pill. I did just contact 2500 in the great state of main he said I was doing 7 a units on his meter, I’m in Florida (...

Just got home and started transmitting with it, the output splitter does get hot when transmitting, I am touching the solder joint with the big circle cap and the output coax

Thank you for putting in your opinion, now, time to answer some of your questions, yes, the only tool I have to test any electrical components at the moment is a multimeter, i’m not an electronics builder I have been into CB radio a little over a year I wanted to step up my game a little bit and...

Stock it swings 10 watt waiting for Black Friday to get a 955, 2 pill dose a little over 100 in am, I’m supper impressed with it 150 in ssb. Just when I first went to drive the 4 pill I wired it to 12v out of the dash, only dose about 50w wired like that, I did wire it to Batt and drive full...

truck dose 13.5 and doesn't really drop when I key, and with 50w in from the 2 pill I should see more than 100 with 4 pills.

so from here, my next step would be to test the caps on the transformers? i don't know where I can get a pf tester locally but I'll order one. if those joints are good and the coax connections and resistors are good. The only other major components that could factor into this problem would be...
