What are some of the symptoms of a bad amplifier pill? I am referring to my amp in an RCI-2990
I am getting full power on SSB, AM should be 50 watts high but will jump to 150 watts at 30% of the RF power on dead key. only on my or mine or my friends antenna, on my dummy load RF power is smoth all the way to 100%.. I can't think his Imax 2000 is faulty...
I took it in to a shop and they told it was all set. I think they never tested it on an antenna just the dummy load... just took it to a different shop told me he wont work on Galaxy's or ranger radios...
what other things can happen like self oscillation? when power is turned up?
If my amp is messed up I can do 1 of 4 things
1. Fix the amp
2. Get a RM Italy KL203 and replace it with that if it fits.. ran my friends and it seemed to work good...
3. put dual final CB in the radio. and run no amp... < may just be easier to run the KL203...
4 Sell the radio off and look for some thing different.... :angry: don't want to give up on this one....
