I would like to get some verification that my "just returned from Yaesu" FT-817 is in the ball park with others when it comes to RF power out. The following readings were taken using FM mode, dc voltage at 13.6 volts constant and into a 50 ohm load.
Freg Output RF (watts)
440 3.5
144 5.5
28 3.5
24 3.5
21 3.5
18 4.0
14 4.0
7 5.0
3.8 5.0
1.7 5.0 + (almost 5.5)
Bye
