9-8A2 C
 What condition may be indicated if a VHF radio cannot contact nearby stations, an inline wattmeter indicates less than 1 watt output (HIGH power mode), and nominal voltage (e.g., 12.8 vdc) is applied to the VHF radio power input line?   
A. The RF power applied to the input of the Power Amplifier (PA) stage is excessive.
B. There is an open connection between the radio's PA stage and the antenna connector.
C. The bias voltage applied to the Power Amplifier (PA) stage may be insufficient.
D. A defective capacitor is blocking DC voltage from appearing at the antenna connector.
