Has anyone verified how accurate the actual power out is in reference
to what it is set to be? Does a setting of 100 w out equal 97-103 watts
or so?
The reason I ask is that my Omni 7's (I have 2), both have an actual
output of a good deal less than what I have the rig set to put out. At a
setting of 100 w out, I see, IIRC about 88 watts. A setting of 50 = an
actual of 44 or so, and at 5 watts it is 4.6 watts. Meters used are a
Bird 43 with 50, 100, and 250 w elements and a LP-100A both of which
agree almost spot on. In fact, most of my TT gear has lower output than
spec with the exception of the Argonaut 5 and the Argonaut 515.
In comparison, a Kenwood TS-2000 that I tested out recently showed an
actual output within 1 watt or so all across the power range of 5-100 watts.
I will soon order an Eagle and was just curious. I know it is not a big
deal, but just wanted to know if anyone has done any meaningful testing
of this.
