[TenTec] SSB power; was Question about Mike for OMNI V and Corsair II

[Zivney, Terry L.]

Dan, N4VET:

What power do you get when you whistle into the mike?  In each
case, it should be the same as your CW power.  With normal
voice operation, the power read on a wattmeter will be much 
less than the CW power on a properly adjusted rig.  Without
extensive speech processing, it is not at all unusual for
the wattmeter to read less than TEN watts with 100 watts PEP
shown on a monitoring 'scope.
