[Icom] New Icom 756 Pro II - Low Power Output on SSB

Sun, 1 Jun 2003 18:58:51 -0400

The radio runs 100 watts - if you have a Peak Reading Wattmeter you should
see peaks at 100 watts.  Average power would be around 60 to 80 watts.

I would not advise running more than 100 watts even if you can push it - you
will exceed the safety margins of the transmitter by doing so.

If you wish to run more power, you need a "linear amplifier" to amplify the
output of the radio.
