OK,
So I began by removing the fuse and plugging in a 12v external supply. Unit did not turn on? Looked on back and had to move the switch to 12v, Boy o boy can you tell Im a rookie! So anyway unit still didn't turn on? Put the fuse back in line and it turned on, Now to the power supply...I checked the voltages like Brandon suggested, hmmm all correct?? So now I disconnect the external 12v and flip the switch back to 120v and the power supply is working correctly supplying 13.9v and minimal drop while tx.

So do you guys think that maybe the 120/12v switch might have had a bad contact? Talked on it for two days AM and SSB left it plugged in for the same time. Still holding steady at 13.9v

Thoughts?
