I know about the wattage differences compared with S-meter readings, etc., but... is there any chance the QMX+ will have a full 10W output like the QSX was spec'd to have?
The probability is certainly non-zero. But I don't have any concrete plans for a 10W QMX+ at the moment.?
Bear in mind that the QSX would have had 10W output. But the QMX+ has CESSB, giving it effectively a 4 or 5 dB advantage. Which effectively makes its power a little more than 10W. So a QMX+ transmitting speech is at least comparable to a QSX transmitting speech at 10W SSB. Before anyone asks what about QSX with CESSB: I believe it is very unlikely that the QSX would have been able to do CESSB.?
