I mainly use this one on SSB but last night Cali was rolling in on AM. Soooo turned the delay off and tried to talk and wasn't getting any swing. Actually, as the radio would modulate the amperage draw would decrease. Any ideas?

that sucks! hope you get it fixed great amp!
u can talk to me on the AM side on the wc 14am
so it works fine on SSB but it wont swing/modulate on AM ?
how much dead-key are you putting into it and how much dead-key are you getting from the amp ?
is this a mobile or base install ?
if base , what power supply are you using ?
if mobile , was the engine running ?
what gauge power wires are you using and how long is the run to the amp ?
do you have another radio to try with the amp ? or amp to try with the radio to be sure the problem is in the amp ?
sounds like a microphone issue or something wrong with the radio in AM mode as far as the modulation.
1, 1.5, 3 watts DK radio only.
75, 125, 200 DK w/amp on
Stick the meter inline in between the Radio and Amp and read drive levels again.
Is this a V model or just a 4 button?
And just curious what do you see on the meter on the front of the amp?
DK levels remain the same wether the meter is behind the radio or behind the amp.
It is a V model.
Mack may have been on to something. It must have been in avg mode. Set in pep I am seeing forward swing now. Still doesn't explain why the current draw decreases only on AM.
With the 1.5 in now getting an amp DK of 125 and swing of around 490. This is at 13.0VDC
I have the answer.
1.
Unscrew the coax from the meter.
2.
Reconnect the coax to the back of the amp.
3.
Go have a Cold Beer.
4.
Your Amp is fine, continue to talk on it.
