I have a magnum 257 blue face that I have been using for about two years now. I love the radio but all of a sudden it decided not to work on SSB. It works well on AM,FM but no output on SSB. I have been running it at 40w on SSB and it does not get real hot but now it is cool as it can be. What might have happened? This has been the best radio I have ever had for 10m SSB, and I have had a lot of 10m radios and none can compare in any way. Your suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks
