It¡¯s possible the 40M amp is oscillating. Also possible that the input Pi
attenuaor has an issue.
I have 2 of those 40M amps and one gets 25W with 4 W in at 13V
2nd gets 50W with 4W in at

When you see an amplifier provide loads of gain in a particular band or frequency it is usually because there is a circuit self resonance, so losses are minimal, or there is some negative feedback

Re: power supply plug
I believe that the EXT jack is for tuning control/triggering by (if I recall correctly) Icom transceivers. I think it is a 3.5mm TRS jack.

It's the other way round, Charles. A lower impedance load will place a higher burden on the output amp.
