I updated the firmware to 3.04 last night. Today, after I tune, I get no or low power out indicated on the RF meter in SSB. Keying down momentarily restores power in SSB.

Are others experiencing this?

S/N 1749 with 3.04. There is definitely something strange with the power output. I turned off the radio last night, powered up this morning, retuned (used tune) the amp for 20 mtrs and was seeing 600w out. After several contest contacts I noticed the atu was still in line and switched it out. Next SSB transmission showed power was about 90 watts from the amplifier. Turned K3 power up from 20 watts drive to 30 and amplifier output was about 300 watts. Amp is ACOM 1000.
