In the FT1000MP series you can go into a menu and change the 
drive setting. I have details on the MKV at

Thanks Tom:

For users of the MK V that have a solid state amp, setting the "drive levels"  is very important to reliability of the amp since the power level spurs can be higher than expected when actuating the microphone push to talk button; Particularly if the Speech Processor is set high enough. You can confirm this by depressing the microphone push to talk button and observing the output power and ALC response. The peak reading meters on the MK V will record some unexpectedly high readings when too much speech processing is employed. I had a failure of an ALS400 which was probably due to turn on/off spikes. 
 
73, Bill
