[TenTec] Sick Pegasus

Last night I noticed something that smelled a little warm in the shack. Not
too bad, but warm.

Today I notice the power supply is sitting at a little over 10 amps while
the Pegasus is receiving. That seemed odd and I checked the book to find it
is way high. I shut things down and when I touched the heatsink on the
Pegasus, I got burned. Very hot!

The high current draw is in the PA section. I unhooked the power feeding it
and the current dropped back down to less than 1 amp.

Has anyone else had similar problems?

Thanks,

Rich
