That would explain why the only thing that was actually hot to the touch was the power cable.

I have already decided to not only get my Rs down, I am goin to run my radio on it's lowest power setting. It should still yeild good numbers out of the amp but be much safer.

I could unbond my truck and have lower SWR, but I'm not going to. I think that having 550W put through a resonant antenna will have better results than a non-resonant antenna with low SWR and 800W through it.
