[Yaesu] max power output

[Jim Hargrave]

Hart,

Good rule of thumb is near 50%. If you are using AFSK, the best way to set
it up is to adjust the audio from the sound card until the ALC just barely
shows activity and them back off until it does not show any ALC reading. On
my FT-920 this point provides approximately 50 watts in PSK mode. I adjust
the RF power level to the same point when running RTTY in FSK mode. These
settings give me about 600 watts output on the Clipperton-L amp.
