1861,

Do you mean it shows No dead key on AM?

It will Not or should Not show a Dead Key carrier on SSB.

Your needle should only move when you are actually talking on SSB transmitting a carrier.

Hope this helps,

Lon

dead key too low on AM, maybe. does radio have variable power & get turned to too low output to kick relay? or was radio opened, maybe to lower dead key, & key get turned down too much?

DOES COOPER SELL PARTS FOR THE KLV AMPS? I THINK I HAVE A BAD POWER SELECTOR SWITCH , OR ONE OF THE 1407 FINALS IS OUT IT DOES DK , BUT ONLY SLIGHTLY UNTILL YOU GET TO POWER LEVEL 6 , THEN ONLY DKs ABOUT 24 AND SWING TO ABOUT 150 . I HAVE BEEN TOLD ALOT OF THEM HAVE BAD POWER SELECTORS , AND THIS CAN CAUSE IT TO ACT THIS WAY
