Mike, a few years ago I had a Century 22 with the same problem. Here's the
response I received!

well the subject line says it all.
I have a Argosy II and it works just fine on all bands but 80 meters,
there's output but no where near what it should be. On 40 meters I get
about 40+ watts, on 80 meters about 8 watts.
I dug out my Century 22 and notice is has the same problem.
now... powered measured
1. 13.8 volt supply
2. Bird wattmeter
3. 50 ? load
While not a critical fix right now, I do plan on getting the problem
resolved.
Has anyone ever notice this and if so what is the fix (besides a trip
down to the factory!)
mike
