Hi Marc,

The Po scale on the IC-7800 is not peak-reading. There is only one really
accurate method for measuring PEP:

If your IC-7800 delivers 210W to a 50-ohm load in FM or RTTY mode, it will
put out 200W PEP on SSB if Mic Gain is adjusted for a mid-range ALC reading
(30 - 50%) on voice peaks.

Cheers for now, 73,
