Well I bought the palomar. And it works great for about 5 minutes and then the output drops to 5 watts dead key and about 50 pep sometimes 75 pep. The more I kept using it the lower it went., never under 50 pep
I turn it off for about 1 minute and turn it back on and it works fine again. I tried it about 10 times, did the exact same thing every single time.
Its getting hot, but not to the point that i can't keep my hand on it. I've tried running it on med power, and low power always does the same thing. I have the 2950 at about 4 watts. I lowered it to 2 and nothing changed.
Oh and swr always goes up to like 2.0 when the amp start messing around. I take off the amp and the swr is fine.
I told the seller this and he said it was POWER STARVATION. I was running it with a Iota 75 amp power supply. meaning ,that's not possible. I switched it to another power supply rated at 25 amps.
Exact same thing happened every time. Is it getting to hot? Is the amp just junk? |
