New amp is toast

[grease monkey]

I would never run any set up with a 1.6:1, that would really bother me.

Got any suggestions? I already added an inductor coil at the feed of the antenna. I made it out the stator winding of an old alternator I had around. Ill have to wait til the amp gets back before I can see what kind of difference it makes. 1.6 wasn't making me happy, but I didn't think it'd fry the amp. When the smoke came out, I put my hand over the fan and it felt cool. I felt the case and that felt cool as well. I don't know what burnt. The only thing that felt warm was the (+) power cable but the breaker didn't trip.


A few months ago when DXing, did you happen to talk to a guy who was in a mobile driving down I-95 near Howland/Orono?
