Hey Bob,  The wattage output dropping reminds me of when someone tunes a 
radio and the antenna has changed in some way and the radio compensates gby 
lowering the output wattage so you don't blow the finals.  Gary KB2YAA

Hi all, the other day my 590 suddenly dropped power to 16 watts. It =
would put out less than 16 watts, but no more. My swr was 1.0 to 1. This =
condition existed on all bands. I checked obvious things such as split =
frequency off and antenna tuner off. I finally decided to do a vfo reset =
rather than a full reset. It worked and the 590 is at full power again. =
I have no idea why this happened and wonder if any one else has =
experienced a sudden loss of power with the 590.=20
