I did the 40 meter transmitter alignment at 2 watts.
At 5 watts, only 40 meters pulls to many amps - 2.46A at 5 watts actually out
using a separate meter.
I checked the other bands and the following is what I get:
3.750 MHz 1.56 Amps 5.6-6.4 watts out
7.200 2.45 A 4.9-5.1 W
10.150 1.56 A 4.8-4.9 W
14.200 0.46 no output
18.200 1.54 A 5.0 W
21.250 1.58 A 4.6 W
25.000 1.34 A 2.8 W
28.300 1.76 5.4 W
A couple of times at 18.200 and also 21.250 MHz when going into Tune, I got
a high current warning and 10+ watts out. Stopped the tune, pushed it again
and it returned to normal.
I did the transmitter alignment for all bands prior to measuring the above.
Where do I go from here? Need some ideas because Gary must be out
of town since Friday. TIA Jeff, K6TFZ
