Is it providing enough current?\n\nI don't trust the power output indicator on a radio. Use an IC-7000\nand an 857d portable. The 857d has a voltmeter that indicates B+.\nKeeping an eye on it before, duing and after key down gives me a feel\nfor what the battery is producing.\n\nCould also be desense. If you've got a cavity handy and a way to make\na return loss measurement (tune it), it's worth a try! My Times\nTechnologies T-100 has this function. Present generation is 200$ on my\nfave-rave auction site.\n\nFind the bug, prove the bug, shoot the bug.\n\nOn Mon, Mar 28, 2016 at 11:41 PM, Rick Tejera <[email protected]> wrote:\n> All,\n>\n>\n>\n> While planning upgrades to the shack, I've decided to try my hand at the\n> linear birds again, taking myb TS-2000 outside and operating Semi portable.\n> So far it has been a lesson in frustration.
