Still haven't had time to open up the amp. Strangely, the problem has gone away. I was checking out a different mic and flipped over to SSB and things were working. I put the original mic back on and it is still working (but who knows for how long).

Radio at full power, mic gain at 1/4 and amp on, it just worked last night. Being that it was working, I asked for a radio check on 38 lsb. I was told "you are sounding beautifully over hear. What are you running?" I am seeing a more proper output 450W-500W instead of 700W I was seeing before. And it isn't cutting out. Maybe I have a bad connection. The Golden Road is getting pretty rough these days.

I also noticed that I have a subtle high pitched whine coming from the amp on AM now. SWR is still 1.3:1. I am thinking I should send it out for look.

[QUOTE="roadrage, post: 445700, member: 21185"] Still haven't had time to open up the amp. Strangely, the problem has gone away.
