Why is the output power too low on my Icom Amplifier?
- T
  Taylor ScottJul 31, 2025
  There could be several reasons for low output power: 1. Check that the antenna input and output are connected properly. 2. Ensure that the [ALC adj] is correctly adjusted. 3. Verify the linear amplifier circuit is turned ON by pushing [AMP/PROTECT] (the indicator should be green). 4. Make sure you've selected an antenna suitable for the operating frequency. 5. Tune the antenna manually by pushing [TUNER] for 2 seconds. 6. If the protection circuit activates and a band indicator blinks, stop the exciter’s transmission, then push [AMP/PROTECT] to deactivate the protection circuit.

  If the protection circuit activates during short periods of operation, consider the following: * Check that the antenna SWR is not more than 3:1. Adjust the antenna if needed. * Ensure the antenna tuner is turned ON by pushing [TUNER]. * Make sure the amplifier has good air circulation. * Verify that the [ALC adj] is properly adjusted.
