Thanks Rahul, will replace them to you ASAP.

I happen to have a Fluke thermo gizmo FLIR, looked at the power board and the driver section was RED hot.. the whole section! Then I unplugged the final board input and put in a +12 dbm in at 14.2 Mhz and did not get 100W. Looking at the data sheet of the upc1678 driving the final board showed that it has a max power of +18.. so I expected that the 756 should have put out max power with the drive I was measuring. Driving the final board with +16 got me about 25W, so my bet was on a defective device in the final amp board. Then I did some external fan cooling and viewed with FLIR and saw this device red hot! It was drawing some 8-10 amps !!!

See the attached image, the red part on the right is the regulators heat. The dark spot on the left is where the device I removed was. The whole section was red before I de soldered the device.

1A quiescent current per RD15.. is a bit baffling! The PA takes 4A doing nothing!

Lucky 2LBW the owner is very pleased !! We were goofing off like the doctors in M*A*S*H saying doctor - doctor to each other while trouble shooting!
