Your amp is doing better than factory specs on all bands, Vic.
Read the specs again....750 watts SSB and 500 watts DC.
I did find a problem in my amp in the 10 meter low pass filter. A cap
had changed value (or never was in tolerance) and moved the 10 meter
cut-off frequency up into the 10 meter band. The output will never be a
much on the higher bands, as an attenuator is switched in @ 20 meters
and above to cut the drive considerably.
If you ever see a lower output on a particular band, sweep the output
filter for its cut-off freq. It may have moved. The disk caps are a little
small IMO.
