A few things to check. What were you using for a wattmeter? What is the 
full scale reading on the range you were using? If there is an ATU, was 
it in bypass? What coax are you using between the radio and the dummy 
load? Where did you get it -- what I'm getting at is that there's a lot 
of junk coax around. :)

Also, consider that there may be an issue in the AL1200 input circuit.

How much power does it take to drive the AL1200?  Most amps in that 
power range get to full output with 40-50 watts. That's what my 
1980-vintage Ten Tec Titans need. A pair of 3CX800A7s.
