Rich,
  The power from the 9420 is seperate to each one of 4 amplifiers in the
Herc.  One of the 4 power supplies in the 9420 could be bad.  One of the
connector pins could be bad.  ( This happened to me once.)  Power for the
rig is "borrowed" from each of the 4 power supplies and if one fails, the
others just chip in a bit more.  If one of the amplifiers is not working,
the "ballast" resistors in one of the power combiners will go up in
smoke.
