    Check your power supply voltage at the radio.

    Alex, check your cables and antenna(s) and then reset your radio, having saved
    your profiles (if you have any) first. Then try again with 10w tuning power and check
    SWR. Also check your power supply for voltage (I use 14 volts for all TRX and RX)
    and your power cables. I had a bad connection for my low voltage cables once,
    which gave off a bit of magic smoke ;-)

    21 watts at 8.35 amps sounds like digital mode to me rather then SSB...  take a look at the mode you are in make sure it's USB or LSB not DIGU or DIGL

    just put it on a dummy load and remove the antenna system from the equation.
