Thanks Carlos and Choke, I guess this might be normal for 20 meters. I can¡¯t fix it if it isn¡¯t broke. I¡¯d like to know if anybody is getting more than 1.6 watts on 20 meters.

.... mine on 20 m is giving me on a 50 Ohm load the same as you .... but only after to take out 2 turns on the LPF and add two trimmers?in paralell with the inner LPF?s capacitors C26 and C25 as they after measuring capacitance were not right !!
I did already some nice CW QSO?s, like to USA and Hungary ... from my QTH?( Portugal)

Hi Joel.?
40m QCX kit. 12volt supply from a battery to keep the noise down. Achieving just over 3 watts. Far to much power for wspr HiHi.?
But it's nice to have if you really do need it.?
That's into a dummy load though. Real world, probably considerably less..!?
Kind regards. James 2E0MUA.?

Hi all,
I just finished and aligned # 628. It's working great, however the power output seems a bit low. I'm getting 1.6 watts at 13.8 V and 1.4 watts at 12.8 V. Does this sound about right? What are others getting out of their QCX's. I realize the power output generally
goes down as the frequency goes up. 1.5 watts is plenty for WSPR and CW contacts. Just curious.
