[Kenwood] TS-830S Power output

[Rick Markey]

I've seen that twice in my 830.  Both times it was the 12BY7 driver. 
 Replacing it brought the power back to normal.  My 830 is still making 
rated power with the original finals from 1980.

Hi - I have a TS-830S that has low power out on 17 (50 Watts), 12 (15 
watts)
and 10 meters (10 watts).  Everywhere else it is 110 watts except 40 where
it is only 80 watts.  Also, the drive on 75 meters seems low.  I can not
drive it into the ALC range without turning on the processor - when I do I
can get it into the alc range with the mike gain at 10 o'clock and the
processor level turned to 9 o'clock.  Any suggestions where to look would 
be
appreciated.  Thank, John N4HV
