Garey, I'm not sure I mentioned this to you or not. When I first realized I was having this trouble with the low output on the TX I heard some kind of a sound when I was tuning up. This was right at the onset of the trouble. After hearing that sound is when I noticed my plate and RF out was way low. Its been like this ever since I heard the sound. I can't really accurately describe it other than a "flash" or a "sizzle". Not sure if it was an arc or what. I don't see anything on the variable capacitors that indicate that an arc occurred. I was not using an amp at the time. Just tuning up barefoot into my DL and at a fairly low power level. Could a component have failed?
I'm a little hesitant to attempt an alignment myself. I don't consider myself much of a technician. I will read up on that procedure some more before I give it a go. Also, I am getting the exact same results whether I'm using the RCVR, XMTR, or in separate to tune up. 73 and thanks! -Joe WS8X
