[TenTec] low power 509 Argonaut

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

Phil, QUESTION:  does the "Power" control have any effect on the output
power, or is it always this level regardless of its setting?

Now a really dumb question:  are you sure it is a 509 and not a 505?
With a 505 there could be another cause.

 Had a 509 for years, so I got another at a ham fest, seems to work OK,
except low power.
10M=.7 W
15M= .5W
20M=.5W
40M=.1W
80M=.05W
Any help? Rig has been sitting for years, but it cleaned up nice, no mods as
far as I can see. Would it help to unplug all the boards, and clean the
prongs?
