I have a Galaxy Saturn main board #360012B that has only 1/2 watt am power output. The radio has 30 watts output power in ssb mode. I have checked volts at TR51 and they check good. I can adjust the volts on the collector with the high power adjustment in the radio and with the RF power control. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
