I run a 575 on my 2950DX. I added buttons for the up/down to the mic.
Why is the AM reading not right?
my guess is it was retuned for 11 metersAny one see a rf output drop off on 10 meters?
Full output on 11 meters, go to 10 & down about 50%
Antenna is fine, even shows same on dummy load.
Any thoughts?
supposed to be NIB? That was my first thought also.
Now you see why it's not ideal to run an amp with a radio that can easily over drive it.
It really sounds like your dead key is a little higher than the amp likes. Also, you really can't measure a 2.25 watt dead key with that meter into an antenna and expect it to be accurate. It is pretty much a decent guess at that point.
I'm not seeing the modulated output on AM, so it's kinda hard to say what to do. You could try turning the variable on with the amp all the way up and adjust the power at the radio to get the dead key you are looking for. Unfortunately the Texas star variable pots are known for burning out when used. Can't really win I guess.
I adjusted my 2950DX to 1/2 watt low and 3 watts all the way up on the dead key. I don't want to rick blowing the driver on my 667 by having too much dead key by accident.Running 90 percent sideband. Which is working great thus far.
When I have time I'll just lower than AM low pot inside the 2950
