OK, as I stated before (and thanks EVERYBODY for the helpful hints) the
unit (OMNI VI+ with a 961 power supply and a 238 tuner talking to a HyGain
Super Thunderbird Yagi) Trips the 961 power supply if I open the power up
to the max.. I hadnt thought about it before, but this time after I checked
the SWR (on the 238, the OMNI and an outboard Raddido Shack digital in-line
SWR/Power meter) I switched everything over to forward power mode and
Holy-RF Batman, I am pushing 135-145 watts out over all the meters.. HUH???
This rig is rated at about 100 watts.. I am running at 75-80% on the power
knob at 14.313 the 238 is in position 1 and the roller is almost all the
way to the left (down).. Any takers NOW??? ;)
