I appreciate the reply. I know that SSB has no carrier signal, which is what causes the chatter in the amp when I turn off the SSB delay. I can't run my RF power all the way up with a 150W radio into a 4 transistor amp. I know I am going to get someone tell me not to run a dual final into my amp, but the amp was made to run with a 2 transistor amp to drive it. My radio has a 2x 2290 section built in. The power has to be very low on the radio. On AM I put 5W carrier into the amp. When I adjusted the RF power, it was to adjust the peak output. I wasn't sure if the output on SSB was too much drive for the amp or not enough. Just a process of troubleshooting and information gathering before I start asking questions.

n0nza, I am not a tech. I'm not sure what a patch cord is, could you try to explain what I'd be looking for/at?
