Replacement Finals??????

[Mork]

Hi,

I have a old TRC48 with a C1017 driver and C1307 final. I can't get the DK past two watts. I have tried replacing both the driver and final and also tweaked the L305 coil but still no go.

Anyone know of a replacement driver or final that will allow me to increase the output of this radio to 4 watts or even what may be causing this radio to DK at half power?

The output on SSB is fine and swings to 15W

Thanks

Jim

If you're getting 15W on SSB, the problem is not the final or driver. Check around the AM regulator. Maybe deeper than that...
