[ICOM] Low Power Transmitting?

[John Luthy]

Hi Jim,

The answer is..  both, you will reduce the power consumption and the
output power.

If you can be heard and understood on low power why use high power?

GL and 73

I have an ICOM 725 that I want to install in my boat but I dont want
to drain the battery when the engine is not running.  Will turning
down the output power reduce the power consumption or only the output?
