Could be this is the missing link explaining why i burn 2 preamp in the past? but i always put the power knob at minimum when i turned off the 847. I will have to test it as i measure about 5W even if the RF power is set to 0!! Full power i'm not sure but even 5W is enough to kill a preamp "-" Luc Leblanc VE2DWE Skype VE2DWE www.qsl.net/ve2dwe DSTAR urcall VE2DWE WAC BASIC CW PHONE SATELLITE _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
