[BC] trouble with an old BC-1G need advice

[Jerry Mathis]

UNless you've managed to re-write the laws of physics, your output 
power is not what you say. That box won't do it. You can get 1100 
watts out of it on a GOOD day, and I never had a good day with a BC-1G!

The meter readings are all in the right department. If you're feeding 
a 50-ohm load, 4.4 amps line current is normal for 1000 watts. I 
think somewhere you're making some mistakes in your power 
caluclations. What are you reading/measuring to make you think you're 
putting out 2400+ watts in high power mode?
