[Alinco] Ali+co DX-70 low power adjustment?

[Edwin Vos PA3GVQ]

HI Al,

I switched my DX-70TH to the 50Watt setting to save some power on my battery when I am portable in the field. With switching that switch my high power in FM is now near 50 watts and low power is dropping to around 4,5 Watts in FM on the bird 43 of my work.

I can't confirm the SSB setting but I can see it's swinging less then in the 100W setting.
Maybe you can try this trick aswell and see if your low power goes below 5 Watts aswell.

73 and good luck,

Edwin PA3GVQ
