1. My brand new DX1600 blows the power switch 3A fuse depending on its output power. It seems that its starved for current. I upped the fuse value to 5A and that seems to not starve it as much although if I talk louder into the mic (driving it harder) the relay chatters a lot (like a trrrrrrrrr) eventually popping the fuse with a 5A fuse. Well I bypassed this fuse and the relay still chatters. I'm driving it with a 2970n2 with a 3.5W dead key that peaks at around 160W into a dummy load.
2. Also, can someone please tell me how to flatten out the input vswr for 10m and 11m? Am getting 2:1 The output matching seems to be fine but I'd like to make it wider.
Please help.
