I did some testing on 'dummy load' and find power out changes as FT8 frequency is increased.
If I adjust FT8 cursor to transmit with 500 Hz or 800 Hz tone my X6100 transmits FT8 CQ at 5 watts.
(As shown on firmware power indicator and external wattmeter.)
If I move FT8 cursor higher... at 1000Hz the power out shows 8 watts.
At 1200 Hz and 1400 Hz, and 1600 Hz -? it shows 10 watts.
This behavior may be limited to my X6100, (or X6100 models built at the same time).
The trick for me is to just transmit my FT8 carrier tones at 800 Hz or below to have 5 watts output.
Thanks for all your hard work, I mostly use CW mode and your firmware makes CW a joy.
