Just had an issue that just started tonight. My Anytone 6666 had the carrier just drop almost completely out, but the modulation is working. I can communicate on AM just fine, but if I keep it keyed down, the carrier drops down to almost nothing. I wasn't paying attention to my meter and started...

OK, this is kind of backwards from what everybody usually experiences from a PC. Usually it's PC is interfering with the receive in a radio. In my issue the radio is interfering with the USB in my PC. I have a backlit keyboard and whenever I xmit on SSB the lights go out on my keyboard and I...

And here is one with the amp inline with the amp off.

This is just the Antenna on my Nano VNA.

I believe the amp to be AB biased. I have ran it on SSB with crystal clear audio reports. I am getting around 700w on SSB just using the Anytone to drive it and my MFJ 891 meter reading the output. The day I used FM, I seen around the same amount of wattage on FM as I was seeing on SSB PEP. So...

I just read back thru it 3 times and have yet to see anywhere you posted that it's a comp cobra 29. (maybe I'm going blind) if it was posted I apologize.

Not sure if I'm just not seeing it or it just hasn't been listed. What radio is this happening on?

Would like to be added WDX-651 Sharpshooter Fort Walton Beach, FL

It is a straight 4 pill. I am using an Anytone 6666 to drive it. I was told the maximum deadkey after the amp that I should see with the amp on would be around 100w. I've already had to send the amp back due to popping a transistor and now I'm scared to put the amp back inline with the 1.9swr...

OK, here's my situation. Shockwave antenna with 50ft of lmr-400 into an MFJ meter with a 6ft lmr-400 jumper into the radio, and I know the radio swr may not be perfect but at the radio it is showing a 1.0 swr. I also tested the swr without the radio plugged in with a Nano VNA and swr is around...

It has 30MB6's in it

I just got one of these myself, It has 8 tubes in it. In the OP's pictures it looks as if his only has 6. What kind of drive should I drive this with. With a 2 watt carrier I can get about 450-500w PEP. Could I hit it with 10w swinging up too 75w?

This one?

@nomadradio Am learning a little as I go. Would love to hear a full explanation as to what actually happens when something such as this happens in an amp. I know it causes high reflect, but why? I mean I have an idea, but it's just an idea. I think it has to do with balancing something within...

I understand what you're saying now. it may not be ground, but it does connect between the 2 sides of the stackpole. In the picture it's C14. The negative side of the mica had come lose.
