"Gary" wrote in message ... I bought a TS-830 from a ham friend that buys estates etc. He couldn't get more than 30 watts out of the '830. I tried it and by putting the drive control at a low level then dipping the plates and adjusting the load control and finally increasing the drive control I was able to get 100 watts out. Then the rig went dead. I checked the fuse on the back and it was blown. It was a 3 amp fuse but right underneath the fuse holder in white lettering it said 6A I'm wondering if the '830 should have a 6 amp fuse instead of the 3 amp fuse that was in there ? Also I noticed that even when the plates were dipped correctly that the plate current meter at 100 W out was almost pinned to the max, maybe it needs neutralization ? Thanks in advance. Gary |
