REPLY:
U had been driving an amp, but that's not when it died. It was working
fine when I QRT'd for a minute to get a cup of coffee and when I came
back, on the next TX, nothing. The failure was completely silent - no
pops, bangs or other signs of malfeasance. The output meter just stayed
on zero.
My amp only needs 45 watts for full output so overheating should not
have been an issue. I'll be curious to know what the factory says happened.
