Hmmm. Page 62 of the Operating Manual says DO NOT OPERATE THE 100W AMPLIFIER ABOVE 40W IN CONTINUOUS CARRIER MODES (E.G. CW, AM, FM, AND DIGITAL) FOR LONGER THAN 15 SECONDS. HIGHER LEVELS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AMPLIFIER. THE AMPLIFIER IS RATED AT 100W PEP FOR SSB DUTY CYCLES.
Is your Drive control set at 50 instead of 100? Have you done your Amplifier Gain Calibration into a dummy load? (page 36) Setup PA Settings Calibrate Note that your power supply will need to deliver more than 20 amp of current at the SDR-1000 terminals without voltage sag in order to have full output. BTW, for the highest sensitivity, select Preamp High and increase the RF control more than 100. You are going to really like the SDR-1000. I do.
