[1000mp] 1000MP trouble on 160M RTTY

[Marc Wullaert]

Rich and all ,
your MP soud be set in USA  in menu 9.9 ,and you will get the full output
100watt.
it is very strange that yours would be set in 15 menu 9.9 .I tested mine
white your settings
and I have also only 15watts output.Did you buy yours second hand ?
There is nothing wrong with your radio.Maybe someone forgot it to place it
in the correct position.

Before ouer law was changed whe had to place the radio in NEU-EU.There was a
modification
inside the radio who give only 10watts out on 160m from 1830-1850.In those
late days from law
whe had to change every time whe would operrate 160m  change menu 9.9 to
Gen.
