[TenTec] Omni VII Query

[Val Erwin]

Mornin' Denny......
 
Understand.........it is just the Engineer in me...........I am a BSEE with extensive RF experience. When electronics do not meet spec, it bugs me!.........When I originally purchased the radio, I measured it at 105 watts output using the same methods. Thus, there is no doubt in my mind that the RF power has decreased from the beginning, measured at 13.8 VDC. 
 
Will take your suggestion and give T-T a call and see where the magic pot is located.........if there is one.
 
Hava' good day.......

Val, this is pretty typical... My Omni 6+ does most bands in the high 80 watt range... The Orion II is also around 90 watts... The MK-V makes 158 watts on high power, not the supposed 200..  Variation in transistors and combiners will do this...The power will go up if you give it a solid 14.4 volts like it might see in a mobile installation...  If this decreased power bothers you, give TT a call and see what they suggest to adjust it...
