I tried a few meters and found it is putting out 1/10th of a watt dead key, but will swing 7. I don't remember it being this anemic when I put it in. On FM it puts out about 12, with SSB peaking right about there as well. Is this thing needing to be tweaked (already) or is there likely a problem with the finals?   Lonestarbandit Intermediate Member Username: Lonestarbandit Post Number: 104 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Saturday, February 27, 2010 - 8:58 pm:        UM WHAT?
