[Boatanchors] The Problem With Boat Anchors

[David C. Hallam]

This is the part of using boat anchors that I hate.  Yesterday the zero 
function of my Johnson Invader quit working.  This means I have to tear 
down my operating position and move a 65 pound transmitter and a 105 
pound power supply out to my work bench in the garage. Also I have to 
fabricate a long extension cord to reach from my operating desk out to 
the garage work bench because I don't have 240V out there.

I also may have other problems because the key down power out is only 
about 450W on my watt meter.  The 4-400A's may be getting tired, but I 
am also suspicious of my watt meter calibration.  Based on the plate 
current meter, 450W is probably right.   I also have to dig down to the 
bottom of my junk pile AKA parts bin to find the new 4-400A's I have 
stashed.

I am 77 years old and getting too old for this.
