Happy Thanksgiving Day, all -------------


In search of advice or a clue about a problem with my 922.  This thing loads 
nicely and has full power in both CW and SSB modes.  Multimeter works fb, and 
a check of the linearity, etc. with a scope shows a nearly perfect trapezoidal 
pattern with 2-tone input thru my TS-830s.   What more could one want?  For 
me, it would be Plate Current readings!  I can get no more than 100ma when the 
rig is tuned.  Grid current is right on ------- and ALC action is fb.  80w of 
drive gives 200ma of grid current and ~ 700w on the Bird.  The meter is brand 
new as the old one was damaged by previous owner.  I've measured the 1.5k, .68 
and 1.0 ohm resistors with the Fluke and they are right on.

I've not removed any of these resistors from the board yet as they seem ok.

What have I missed?  You know how it is when you spend hours tracing and 
verifying and something small goes right by.  I'm close to being stumped.  Any 
suggestions or comments?
