My own ubitx is outputting from 10w on 160m descending to around 4w on 10m CW. Actual power output on SSB depends upon the microphone used. An improved layout using the same irf510 has been designed

It depends on the versions. Latest production should have more power on the 10m band. My ubitx, ver. 3 early production, has nearly 2w.
