Im not really "checking" it on ssb, merely an observation that it also pegs the meter, didnt think it would do that.
I am not an expert, all i know is there is reflect back to radio when amp is on either in high/low and swr is pegged in am, this does not seem right to me. Tryed different Lenths...
Was having no issues running the amp for 2yrs, this problem started this summer and this is the current fix i have for the problem. I have no choice but to tune with amp on. Hope this will answer these questions.

Replaced TR21 a few days ago, havent made any progress with it, I appreciate all the help from everyone but its lookin like the repair is not gonna happen. Ive done all i can think of with my limited diagnostic skills, every time i turn it on to check something another problem shows itself, it...
