BH9AXP Is the full power output of the Yaesu FT-710 only 96W normal? When using the same power meter to test the FT-891, I was able to achieve 100W. SSB mode FT8 testing
BH9AXP BH3XZT I tested both the 891 and the 710 under the same environmental conditions and with the same configuration. The 891 reached 100W, while the 710 only reached 96W.
BD8DLV SSB mode + FT8, may result in insufficient actual output power due to gain settings. Try adjusting the computer volume and corresponding gains to test the power. It is best to use FM mode for testing.
Bi4KKF I remember that the FT-710 had a feature where the power meter displayed the average power by default. This meant that the power reading was not complete in SSB mode. If it were set to display instantaneous power, I could adjust it to reach the actual maximum power of 100W.
BH9FPK The HF test power varies depending on the mode (FM, CW, or SSB). The higher the volume of the sound output, the greater the power. If you hold down the microphone without speaking, there is no power output.
