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. :confused: 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. :)
