Subject: [ICOM] Icom 756 PRO III output power

Hello

I am new to the reflector and a new PRO III owner as well.  I've researched
the archives and found quite a few subjects relating to low output power
from 746 and 756 owners.  I am running a PRO III into a 5 element Telrex
monobander with FLAT vswr.  I cant get any where near 100w out of this rig
into the yagi or even into a bird dummy load.  I have a Diamond SWR meter
and a Bird 43 with both measuring to within a few watts of each
other....about 85-88w on 14.200.

I use a Henry 3K Premier amp that likes to see 110 or so watts from the
Ft1000 on the bench...with the Icom, the power is way down out of the amp.  

I have heard that these rigs can produce more power...is this true?  I am
NOT running the Icom PS but rather I am using a 35amp Astron PS so
additional current draw would not be a concern.

Comments from the Icom gurus?

Thanks in advance
