[ICOM] IC-756 Pro II Power Output Change

[Jim Miller KG0KP]

Your "mic gain" adjustment on your rig - what happens if you increase the 
mic gain setting on your rig?

Thomas, if you get 100 watts pep output when you whistle into the 
microphone, on ssb, then your rig is indeed putting out 100 watts pep. At a 
single tone, PEP and average power are equal If you drive your mike input 
with two equal tones and measure the output power in each tone, they would 
equal 50 watts each, but the total output = 100 watts by adding the total of 
the two output output tones.
Depending on your voice chacteristics and your microphone response you may 
not see much indicated power out on the wattmeter. This is a function of the 
type of wattmeter you may be using. A very accurate pep wattmeter or an 
oscilloscope measurement of the RF voltage across the 50 Ohm dummy load will 
reveal the truth. Believe me, your rig can indeed put out 100 watts pep on 
ssb.
