while working xf4ih i noticed my output power was down....about 250 watts !!!

then i checked my drive ( omni6-v3) and it was 60-70 watts normal for 
driving the herc to  400- 500 + watts out. Antenna /swr stayed fine, still is .
Used omni into to TITAN....ALL OK...	

Sooo  looks like something has dropped output in half...
Tomorrow I'll start rereading the manual again; but thought someone might 
know a site that has some files on procedures to check for blown drivers or 
finals or messed up couplers. Anyone out there been there already...

is there an easy way to measure the four power supplies???(TT PS)
If i lost one would that kill the output of that pair of outputs.??

hoping i do not need to get those xpensie output devices ...
