Moved my 9'er to the base just to give the Galaxy some fresh air  and finally get the JP4 jumper out for the freq counters 6th digit . While modulating last night I FINALLY got the time to try sideband...power is DOWN? 
Everything else looks 100% on AM but I only get around 15w pep MAX on LSB,USB or FM. I'm familiar with the hi/low power VR's in this radio but unsure what I can adjust to balance(?) or turn up the SSB power? I checked the mods section but didn't see anything on a SSB power VR. Any ideas? Should I look to see if the ALC pod has been fooled with? Don't even wanna touch it till I get a little input...THANKS!
BTW speaking of the hi/low power VR's..WOW that VR13 is a touchy one huh!? I was able to make no improvement in AM power...is HOTROD peaked right from Magnum..just set the Low power DK closer to 2 watts is all. TOP Gun still swings nicely to 40w with modulator on. Have to be careful with Top gun off if Power is "UP" because DK sits around 13+...NOT GOOD for the radio! Left side heats up quick like that!
Note to self: Leave power down and top gun "ON".
Anyway...ideas on adjustments for SSB and/or FM power?
