I stand corrected. I should take my own advice and check settings.
Mine was turned down. Thanks for the correction.

Randy,
Where are you read the FT-857d is only
rated 25w on CW ?? Page 2 from manual is 100w SSB/ CW/ FM from
160 to 6m

I still want to know how they're getting 100 watts out just by
keying the mic. Sideband doesn't show any output until you
modulate the signal, and the radio is only rated for 25 watts on
AM and CW.
