[Icom] W32A power output

Wed, 24 Jul 2002 21:22:53 -0400

I am not complaining about battery life, but low power being flea power on
transmit. The difference between 5 watts out and 300mW is just toooooooo
wide. I would like to raise the low power setting to a watt or watt and a
half.

I have the older version of the W32A and had discussions with Icom about the
battery discharge rate.  According to their tech support the battery
discharge rate on that radio is atrocious.  Worst of all their radios.  They
don't have any reason to attribute it however it is a fact.
The only answer is to keep spares on hand and run it from an alternative
power source.
Last but not least get another radio, unfortunately I like mine as well and
still keep it.
