Hi All
I have a Ranger 2950DX hooked to a Astron 30Amp PS. Also a TS 350V.
The power supply has a amp meter on it. Lets say with the TS 350V off, when I key the radio with no mod, it does 2.5 to 3 amps. Output watts DK .5-6 on watt meter. And on a field strength meter it is a 1.
When I add mod the the PEP on the watt meter says 25 Watt. But the amp meter on the PS and the meter on the field strength meter swing backwards.
Same with TS 350V on, just more extreme. Watt meter 60DK 250PEP, Amp Meter on PS 20 Amps DK swing down to 12 Amps with Mod. Field strength meter DK 4 Swing down to a 2.
I guess what I am asking is, What could be causing the radio to loose power with Modulation. Saturating the finals ? :headbang
