    The definition is a firm maximum from the transmitter of 5 watts on 
CW at the antenna terminal. For SSB it has been calculated that a 
average of 5 watts will be the same as 10 watts read on a peak reading 
meter. I checked my FT-817 and it does just about 10 watts on my MFJ 
peak reading power meter in my MFJ-969 antenna tuner.
