ICOM 802
I have an ICOM M802 with an AT140 tuner, a Pactor IIusb and a Gam/McKim backstay antenna. We have 2 Dynaplates connected by 2" copper strip to both the tranceiver and the tuner.
My problem is voice transmission. When I use the Pactor, connection is usually efficient and and my ammeter shows a draw of 22 - 25 amps. On voice I am unable to connect to stations 30 miles away and the ammeter shows barely 5-7 amps. a DSC self test pulls about 15 amps on transmission.
I am at a loss - can anyone help.
