My Valiant suddenly stopped putting out RF on 75 meters, I switched to 40 and it loaded a little, about 90 watts then that also quit, I am thinking it is the loading star cap, I know they are a weak point on the Valiant, I replaced them with disk ceramic caps but still no output if I turn up the drive the plate meter will peg to the right so I am thinking the loading caps are not up to the load, any suggestions on what is the problem and if its is the loading caps what should I use and is there a source for them, any suggestions are welcome…
