Do this:
Turn down your PO. If you have it cranked up it can go into foldback and
act like its acting now.
What I did on mine is turn the power down and put the bird meter with a
dummy load on it on the output on the side of the cabinet.. I then keyed
the repeater and turned out the power till it folded back.. I then
turned it down and peaked the final slug in the preselector for maximum
smoke. It only took 1/8 turn if even that... The I ran the power up to
max and found another 23 watts.
