SSB problems with amplifier. On AM things are great. Audio is on channel and clean. I am running the amp to the transistor spec, not the amplifier's manufacture's spec.

If I shut off the amp and flip the radio mode selector to LSB. At full power and mic gain at 1/4 my Galaxy 95t2 shows 110W on my wattmeter. I'm not getting rave audio reports but not bad ones either. It is an export so I'm not expecting miracles from it. Now I turn the power down on the radio and flip on the amp and the amp's SSB delay. I key up and my power output on the radio's meter and external meter show output that keeps cutting out. I turned off the SSB delay and got chatter when not speaking (which I know is normal) but when I speak things seem to work closer to normal. I turn the SSB delay back on and the problem returns. I tried to lower my V-power and increase it as well and there is no change. I tried playing with the mic gain and no change. The radio seems to have normal output with the amp off. Any ideas?
