[Icom] IC 756 pro power

Sat, 23 Feb 2002 11:22:29 -0600

I find it interesting how many what to police the actions of others.

I recall a few weeks, perhaps months ago, someone asked a similar question
and received numerous responses providing the information requested without
all this policing and harboring of information.  In fact the information was
given for the IC-746 about what trimmers were for HF and for 2 meters.

I wish I could provide the answer for Andy, but I don't know.

Andy didn't state exactly why he needed the extra power, but does it really
matter?

Just my $0.02.

Jim

Andy ~

Why do you want more power?   Even if you could get 20 watts more your
signal would only increase by 0.8dB! {10LOG(120/100) }   That wouldn't be
noticeable at all to the receiving station.  The big problem would be
intermodulation distortion (IMD) (unless of course you are just considering
CW) otherwise know as splatter, which would increase considerably.  You
wouldn't be any louder, you'd just sound bad.

You didn't mention anything about using an amplifier so I doubt you want
more drive power.  I think you need to reconsider this a bit
