[Icom] Pwr output IC746

Lins,

The power output meter in the IC-756Pro is average-reading. With average
speech, as George W5YR mentioned, the meter will read 10 ~ 20W for 100W PEP
output.

If you have access to an oscilloscope, here is a simple PEP measuring
procedure:

Since a few months i have a IC746. But i have a problem in SSB operation.
If i talk with normal voice level the the pwr output is to less. Example at
maximum pwr (100W), in CW pwr peaks 100W in SSB at normal voice level pwr
output peaks only 20-25W, in SSB when i whistle pwr peaks 100W. ( I have
other tranceivers and by them the pwr in SSB peaks 80W or more)
I did everything what is in the instruction manual. I chanced microfones ,
handheld and desktop. But still it is the same.
What could be the problem?
