No, there was actually two dummy loads in the room when I was setting it up.
New to the Jupiter and I didn't remember that it is 20 watts in tune,
but that you have to do alt/tune to do a power adjust. That was it. I
knew it was something dumb but I couldn't figure it out as the Jupiter
is still really new to me and I have almost no operating time with it.
I had an antenna issue a while back and thought I might have lost the
finals, but all is okay. Shows from 2 watts to 105 with the alt/tune
into a dummy load.
Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience. Used to be a TenTec guy and
then went to the dark side a while (Kenwood). Now I'm back. Missed the
full break-in and I really, really like the Jupiter.
Thanks again and sorry for the inconvenience to all.
