[TenTec] Herc II drive power

[Bob & Linda McGraw K4TAX]

Duane:

Does your Omni have a 20 watt mark on the meter?  Mine is marked at 15
and then again at 25.  There's nothing in between these two but space. 
With a non linear meter, I wonder just where 20 is in the scope of
things.

Mine is marked in the following sequence at 10 , 15 , 25, a hash mark
(presumed to be 50) and a much larger segment over the 100.

When the drive was dropped to indicate 20W on the Omni, it was 22W on the Autek and 24W on the Model 238 tuner.  This held true on both 40m and 10m into a dummy load.  FWIW...
