[Kenwood] TM-742A Issue - Help Please

Steve:
Check the obvious and easy stuff first. Check out the VSWR on your antenna. 
The radio has VSWR protection built in and will reduce the XMT power if it 
sees a less than ideal VSWR. It'll back off the power to a point where 
it'll put out some power, but not full power. It selects an output power at 
which the antenna impedance mismatch won't damage the XMTR finals.

| My TM-742A is only showing 30 watts out on two meters. The other
| modules, 222 and 440 are about right. Is there an adjustment that might
| fix this or is it is a sign of something more sinister??????
|| I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.
