I finished the installation of the 3080 option, and everything seems okay, but my power out seems to have dropped on all bands. Not by a lot, but I'm wondering if something is amiss.
Here are the numbers, using the same 13.4v external supply before and after:
Band Before 3080 After 3080
80m n/a 3.1w
40m 3.9w 2.7w
30m 4.2w 3.9w
20m 3.8w 2.8w
looks like I've lost about a watt on 20 and 40.
Current draw is good on all bands, about 65ma on 80 and 45 ma on the others.
Is this worth worrying about?
I read about the resistor mod, but that would raise output on all bands, maybe pushing 30 and 80 up above 4 watts, perhaps not a good idea.
Is there an adjustment I missed for 20 and 40?
Thanks,
Mike N2HTT
