Never one to have only one radio on the bench...

i dug out one of my older Omni A transceivers...

This Omni A I have works just great.... but on 80 meters, there's  
only about 30 or so watts RF output into a 50 ohm load
current is only 12 amps or so...

on 160 meters, there's only about 3 watts RF and only about 8 amps of  
dc current.


power is just fine with 100 watts of rf on all other bands...


suspect the alc diodes on the swr/alc diodes....
