The TT PS reads 13-14 A and the meter on the Corsair pegs to the left when meter switch is at IC. It should swing to the right and read essentially the same as the meter on the PS. PO is75-77 measured w/ Bird 43.

Meter set to swr? Otherwise I wonder if a diode or solder joint open d up and is not measuring forward power. 

what panel meter, the one on the radio or on the power supply? Does the Corsair read out amps into the radio?
