[VHFcontesting] Q: Power Level Setting on Popular Multimodes

[Mark S. Adams, P.E.]

Gang,

I am workng on improving my upcoming rover and qrp/p operations.  One thing 
that would be nice to know is which of the DC-Daylight multimodes SAVE the 
power level for EACH band like the TS-2000 does.  It can be set to run at 
10W on 6, 10W on 2, 10W on 432 and 10W on 1.2G.  For a qrp/p station this 
is great!  The Icom 706 uses a menu to vary the power by percentage. This 
would stink for qrp/p since you'd have to set it for 10% on 6, 20% on 2 and 
50% on 432 to get 10W out on each band.  Or can you SAVE these setting per 
band?

And how about the Yaesu FT100D?

Is the TS2000 the ONLY rig that lets you set power by band?

The rigs in question are the IC 746, FT 100D, 847, 897, 857 ?? (And when 
will the 800 series madness stop? Does anyone REALLY know how the 857 and 
100D are different?)

This is a non-isssue for a rover, but a challenge to a /p station.
