Rick,
I'm not sure how to adjust it either, so check the manual, or ask another
ham who has the same amplifier. Adjusting the amplifier probably does
entail opening the case, and I certainly understand why you don't want to
poke around in there. Besides, as someone else on this list pointed out,
you may have a faulty cable somewhere, and that's probably the cause of the
problem.
