Its probably tired from being used too much on 11 meters.....
Maybe it is folding back because of a high SWR - you don't run CW and
FSK in the same part of the band as phone. Are you checking it into a
true 50 ohm dummy load or the antenna?
Did you check your antenna since last winter - maybe it stretched from
ice / wind blowing etc.
Maybe your coax has issues.
No way to know because my crystal ball is broke.
There is always a certain segment of the population that doesn't
understand SSB and always wants 100% performance out of everything and
will strive to squeeze every last watt out of something, regardless of
if it worked ok or not before they started messing with it.
In CB talk that is called Peak n Tune.
You won't ever notice any difference in perceived signals strength
between 80 watts and 100 watts on most phone conversations.. I wouldn't
worry about it.
Are you fully modulating the signal when you are measuring it with your
Bird meter? CQ CQ CQ K K K P P P D D D You will only see full signal
strength when it is fully modulated...
CW and FSK is 100% duty cycle - fully modulated all the time.
Running the transmitter at full power for any length of time will damage
it on FSK.
Its not designed to be used that way with more then about 30 or 40
watts.
Does it have an auto tuner?
Is it turned on or off?
