Hi all, A.C. Line voltage is stable and at 117 VAC. However, about 12 hours later the AC4 power supply filters gave up the fine fight. Fortunately, I had three other spares so I was able to get back on the air. The bad news is that I was working a DX station on 80 meters at the time, and he wondered why I just disappeared. Thanks for all of your fine thoughts.

Check your AC line voltage at the same time. You might be seeing variations in that. Mark At 11:54 PM 2/12/04, you wrote: >I notice that My T4XC does the same in SSB as well.
