[RRDXA] 3V8SS in 160m Contest

["Andreas Lüer"]

Hat jemand eine Erklärung für das TRX-Problem von Ashraf?

I hope you're doing well my friends,

Well I finished the contests yesterday after 3 operating nights, hi!
I have in my log 620 QSOs, 51 DXCCs, 7 US State/VE Province. Total Score: 
370'000 pts!
 I think I did well. Operating on 160 was really hard. I was using the 40  
GP for RX. This brought me a lot of QSOs from stations that couldn't be  
heard using the 160 GP.
On the TRX KENWOOD TS450S, I noticed something; after about  15min of 
TXing, the TRX output is only 50W. I need to switch off the  TRX for few 
minutes in order to get the power again up to 100W (in the  meter). Another 
solution I found, I TX using the 40 GP (with infinite  SWR) then quickly 
switch to the 160 GP. Once I keep calling CQ for a  short interval of time, 
the output power is still 100W. If I wait more  than 10 seconds, the output 
power will be 50W only. I need in this case  to do one of the two above 
solutions.
 Is that a problem in the TRX? Is that a known problem?
Please advise.

Thanks again for your great help!
