I had this before when I forgot to turn on my Power Supply and tried to run 100 Watts from a dying battery. If the voltage gets low it will error and I think this is the message. Check power source, and connectors. Poor crimps on Power Poles, can be troublesome.
Good Luck... ...bill nr4c -----Original Message----- From: Allen R.

I have to recycle the POWER switch to operate again and the power is dialed way down.I have to bring it back up to 100W. So far, this has happened only on 10 meters with the amp on.but I don't know if there is a connection there. I am using an MFJ-4125 power supply (that may be the issue). I haven't tried another power supply yet. Anyone else run into this problem?
