    Tom, there is a modification to stop the blowing of the 3001's. I 
thunk it has to do with the fact that the 723 is run too close to it's 
upper limits. Contact the factory. I also had one go bad on me, and was 
running way too much power into the IPA, so I left the site on the aux 
tx (it's own exciter), went to the studio, and put some connectors on 
150 feet of rg-58. Coil it up, and it makes for a great and cheap pad. 
Power attenuators and dummy loads are quite cheap on Ebay, but when you 
have a roll of rg-58, why not?
