[Amps] Henry 2K Classic

[Joe Isabella]

My 3K-A threw a shoe like that once -- the output dropped and got very distorted.  A quick look inside revealed only one lit tube, so I cleaned up the contacts in the socket and it has been fine since.  I didn't notice the rig cutting back on power, but I drive it with a Jupiter and it handles a little higher SWR that the other transistor rigs that I've owned.
 
Anyway, I wonder if he checked the jumper between the rig & amp -- I've been frustrated by that one in the past, too.
 
Joe, N3JI

If you lose a tube because of loss of filament current...loose socket or
whatever, then the input impedance to the amp would change and the Yaesu
would drop it's output power due to high vswr?
