    My DSL line did exactly the same muting while transmitting on 160 over 300 
watts. As it turned out the problem was cured by the phone company. My audio 
phone line had always been a little scratchy and had some hum on it. One day it 
got really bad so I called the telco. He measured the lines and indeed as 
others have pointed out the line was terribly unbalanced and should have been 
balanced ( they have specs for that). He chased backwards from my location and 
found some bad connections about a half mile away. After fixing the connections 
I have had no further problems without any other beads or filtering and 1500 
watts on 160 meters. Perhaps one should ask the telco to measure the line first 
for anyone having problems.
