I don't know how to neutralize that radio, but I'd be suspicious that it
might be off. 130 watts is just safe. Is that on a matched antenna or on a
dummy load? If it is straight to an antenna, the resistance might be lower
than 50 ohms. A mismatch can go either way.
a class c amp should be around 75 per cent effecient. 180 watts in 135
watts out.
