>> Sounds like the step-start relay is welded. That's where I would start.

>> Hello Group.
>>
>> Short question: I have an AL-82 that has started to blow a fuse on
>> start-up.
>>
>> It doesn't do it every time, and when the fuse is replaced the unit
>> starts OK and runs all day w/o problems. This all started when I
>> re-arranged the shack. The unit is about two years old.
>>
>> The first time it happened, I checked the AC input at ~248 volts. Is
>> this too high?
>>
>> So, any ideas on what to look for or where to start? As I sit here the
>> amp is on and running, but yesterday I had to replace a fuse to get it
>> started. This is only twice that I've had to replace the fuse, but
>> that's two times too many.
