[QUOTE="condor22, post: 236960, member: 1932"] You are spot on, consider that the output is 5W of power, in simple terms the antenna is the outlet for that power. So, no antenna = no outlet = the internal circuitry absorbing that power = probable burn out of the final output circuit. Or as some people (including me) used to say with the 27MHz system; [b]"blowing the finals" [/b](the transistors in the final output circuit). [/QUOTE]
