Re: Kenwood TR-9130 problem with PA
2.5V of RF input is around 130mW, so I would think there is enough drive to the PA for around 25W output.
The TX current is way too low.
Is the module grounded properly? - all of the DC conditions seem to be about right, according to the datasheet.
Have you tried connecting directly to the module RF output to see if anything is happening there, I don't think these modules have foldback protection, but I could be wrong.
Sorry, just seen that you have. By the sounds of it, you have another duff module.
