To the group I am new at building ,with the help of a friend we put together a uhf mobil. at 45 watts out I had a problem with the pa . A small copper loop beside the power adjust pot. burned thru the board and took out a cap.I was able to get it back online but am worried about overheating . mobil units don`t have large heat sinks. What is the normal power setting? These small copper loops act as a jumper from one trace to another. What are the correct term for these loops?
