FT-818 Jedis:
Recent owner of a FT-818ND. The book and Nifty manual state there should be four symbols for determining TX power:
[blank] - full 6W (5W internal battery)
L))) - 2.5W
L)) - 1.0W
L) - 0.5W
I'm using the internal Windcamp battery mod. My screen will only display L)), and L) regardless of the number of times I push the B button. It also seems like there are some extra button pushes in the cycle that don't change anything, i.e. it takes two button pushes to get from L)) back to L). The battery is fully charged.
FT-818 veterans, need a brief explanation of the symbology for internal versus external battery sources.
Also is 6W achievable with the internal battery? Is that why only two symbols are displaying?
If using an external Bioenno 12v, 3Ah battery, is full power an option or am I limited to 5W?
Thanks in advance,
Matt W7MDN
