I have a Pegasus that has been sitting in storage for awhile. I am just 
pulling it out and getting it back online.

When I put it away I removed the factory internal tuner. I am pretty sure I 
checked it afterwards but its been long enough I cant remember for sure.

Anyway, it transmits about 75 watts on 15 and 20 meters but has no power on 
any other bands. It acts like it is transmitting but has no power out. As a 
matter of fact,  it is drawing HIGH current on the other bands when 
transmitting. I think on 15 and 20 it is draws about 12 amps (crude estimate 
based on astron meter) and on other bands that have no power out it is 
drawing anywhere from 15 to 30 amps.

Just getting ready to tear into it. Any suggestions?
