>I have bought a Triton 540 HF Ten-tec rig.  I am a CW buff and was quite impressed with the quietness of this rig.  I have worked a few hams but the output is around 40-50 watts.  Is this normal, or should it do more.  I've mainly been on 40 meters as the PTO is about frozen and it moves ever so slow.  I was told this is a 100 watt rig.  I have an old Johnson mike but get nothing on power out SSB.  Not sure the mike is useable or even wired correctly.  it does seem to key the radio.  Ten-Tec is going to repair the PTO but I would like advice on getting the SSB going.  My first post so I hope it goes good.
