Dave,

Just checked  my 700CX with 117XC, I get about 280 peak output on 20 meters 
measuring with a Autek WM-1.  I know it's more on the lower frequency bands 
and significantly less on 15 and 10 but didn't check all bands this morning.

Maybe check your screen voltage on the finals?  I've been planning to reduce 
the screen voltage (and thereby output) a bit just so I don't have to invest 
in any more 8950's.

This is up from the original approximately 100 watts output I was noting 
with the original weak finals that came with my 700CX.
