can give TT a call, they will have a better 'history' of probable causes for a symptom.

Might want to check the band switch just in case the connections are getting intermittant,

Hope it's not the radio,

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
