christ. that's abit of output. I could squeeze 150 out of my old 520 up 
on 27 mhz but that was driving it for all it was worth.

On 16/05/2008 2:43 AM, the old scribe known as John Miller was able to 
impart this pearl of wisdom:
> If I tune for max power with my TS-520 on 75, I can get 175 out of it. I was 
> told to try to keep it no more than 125 out of those radios. that 175 is CW, 
> it's tough to measure SSB power but I'd bet it's no lower, it's probably 
> slightly more. I really don't think it should be that high.
