    Amplifier techs step in please.

    Guy brought me his x200 and output is about 50 percent of what it was. I immediately thought the transistors were bad, at least one of them. I could feel that one of them was getting hot, so I thought there is my imbalance. I replaced it. No change. Replaced the other 2879, and no change...

    It is either or. I have used it in the house on a 300 amp supply and on 12v it peaks on my Bulldog meter at 3200 and on 16v looks about 4300. The Bulldog is right with a bird with the pep kit

    Because I was asked - Best Vertical

    Failed Gamma Has anyone found a cure for the weak gamma match on the Vector 4000? At 1000W pep the gamma match is shorting. The insulator sleeve that slides over the inner rod is burning a hole and causing arcing to the outer gamma housing, not to mention everyone that has failed was full of water.
