Well it appears I may have inadvertently overdriven this amp with my toned-down Anytone AT-5555N II one too many times. AM still seems to work okay (from what little I use it on AM) but SSB is a bit of a crusty, busted-up, garbled mess even when driven by just a watt or two.
Although I have a soldering iron and lots of other sharp/pointy tools, I also have zero experience with electronic repairs. I think the prudent thing for me to do is find a reputable person that can get this amp working properly again. I'm not looking for a souped up, melt the coax tune, just working like it should work is all.
Anyone know a tech that does this type of repair work but refrains from treating newly sent-in devices as a lab device on which to conduct various nefarious experiments?
