[Icom] PW-1 observation

[icom@mailman.qth.net]

I just used my PW-1 and 756PRO2 for the first time in a few months and 
noticed that something is not right with the PW-1.

I was only showing 600w output, so after looking closer, I am noticing that 
my Vcc is running just below 40v. I think this used to show closer to the 50v 
mark and I used to see 1000w with no problems. I am guessing the lower 
voltage is resulting in less gain of the RF devices. Further inspection shows 
that the amp is receiving 245VAC, and everything else looks ok.

This is fustrating for an amp that is only a few months old and used only a 
handful of times!!  

Anyone else see this behavior before, or have any ideas on what to check next?
