[Kenwood] TS-850 OUTPUT Question

Mon Nov 3 22:16:02 EST 2008

Let’s see the math:

Log 88/100x20= 1.1 dB. Doesn’t make the slightest difference as far as the
receiving station is concerned. One S-point is 6 dB, so 1 dB is nothing in
the scheme of things.
What’s the input voltage to your radio? Is the power control all the way up?
If the TS-850 doesn’t draw unusually high current for the power output, I
wouldn’t worry about it.

Subject: [Kenwood] TS-850 OUTPUT Question

Hello. Have a TS-850. I am getting about 88 to 90 watts output on most
of the bands. Using CW into a proper dummy load with an accurate meter. 
Would this be considered normal?
Is there an easy way to increase the output to 100 watts?
Thanks,
Kevin
