look at the VHF suppressors directly at the anode. They are usually made of Carbon resistors with a coil wound around. Under some circumstances these resistors dissipate a lot of power. Your description of not having the effect when a dummy is connected made me think of this. I have no L75 though. 73, Dieter DL5RDO > "Dick Harms PA2DW" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist > gang > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Hi all, > I am using the L75 for some time now and since recently I have this > strange > smell when I run the PA for a while at max power.
