Hi Bob:
The Omni-VI+ power output meter is calibrated at 100 watts.
Below 25 watts, the accuracy of the internal meter drops off.
The Omni-VI+ will run from approximately 3/4 of a watt to
100 watts out by front panel RF PWR adjustment. We always
recommend employing the use of a calibrated external wattmeter
for accurate QRP operation with the Omni-VI.
See you in the CW SS ....QRP with the Omni-VI+ and a Bird 43.
