OK, as I stated before (and thanks EVERYBODY for the helpful hints) the 
unit (OMNI VI+ with a 961 power supply and a 238 tuner talking to a HyGain 
Super Thunderbird Yagi)  Trips the 961 power supply if I open the power up 
to the max.. I hadnt thought about it before, but this time after I checked 
the SWR (on the 238, the OMNI and an outboard Raddido Shack digital in-line 
SWR/Power meter)  I switched everything over to forward power mode and 
Holy-RF Batman, I am pushing 135-145 watts out over all the meters.. HUH??? 
This rig is rated at about 100 watts.. I am running at 75-80% on the power 
knob at 14.313 the 238 is in position 1 and the roller is almost all the 
way to the left (down).. Any takers NOW???  ;)
