Mark, The real answer is YES.
Measure your actual power when the power request is set to 5 watts - if it is really 12 watts or more, then that is an indication that the power control is not working, and the KPA100 wattmeter diodes are the first suspects. 380 ohms is much lower than normal, but that depends a lot on your ohmmeter. They should measure low in one direction (normally about 3K) and quite high (about 43k) in the other direction. 73, Don W3FPR On 11/13/2011 9:52 PM, Mark Flavin wrote: > I know its possible but just to verify could the d16 and 17 chem ok and be > bad?
