Hi Craig,
I'm not familiar with the Argosy. Can you turn the TX power output down
on an Argosy? If so, see if turning it down makes a difference. If it
makes a difference, for instance at some setting the circuit breaker
stops tripping, is it the same on all bands? Not a solution, just a way
to get another bit of information about the problem.

My Argosy II / Model 225 power supply combo began acting oddly tonight.
On 20 meters and above, the power supply's circuit breaker is tripping
when the rig is keyed -- even when working into a dummy load. Antenna
connections are fine. This behavior began tonight -- I've never had it
before and nothing been changed i the station setup..
So, it appears that either the current sensing circuit has gone bad or
the rig really is drawing excess current on the higher bands. I'm
baffled. I reset the tripping point in the power supply, but that's not
the way to fix this.
Any ideas?
Many thanks and 73,
Craig
