RCI 2950 only putting out 10 watts on SSB

[Skyrider]

I have my friends 2950 that for some reason only does 11 watts tops on SSB. On AM it does around 5 or so watts tops. I had the replacement driver transistors handy but replacing them didnt do anything.

I did voltage checks on the driver transistors and theyre all very very wonky. Il be posting my readings later on when i get a chance to get my notepad. But theyre either very high or low. Sometimes i got negative readings on transmit. :thumbdown:

Well i must admit im stumped. My last guess would be a bad regulator but i have no idea what to look for.

If anyone could offer me any help i would much appreciate it.
