[VHFcontesting] IC910H Power Output Question

Anyone tried to adjust the ALC to see if it's that simple? Most of these
radios have a ALC adjustment per band which is also how they reduce the
power when high SWR is detected.

 FYI: My 9100 does not meet spec, either. I am a little low on both 2M and
70 cm. On 1296, I get about 7 watts - and that is measured using a real
power meter. Never checked it on Six or HF. Not meeting power output specs
seems to be a trend in the industry. I don't think any of my D Star radios
put out what they are supposed to. My FT 2000 actually exceeds the specified
200 watts on 160M. But, puts out about 195 watts on 6M. Anyone besides me
remember the 1970's, when a 10 watt radio actually put out 11 or 12 watts?

I have an IC-910H s/n 027XX that I purchased used. On 2m FM, it puts out
about 90-95 watts through a Daiwa CN-103L wattmeter into a dummy load using
RG-400 cables while powered by an Astron SS-25 power supply. On 70cm FM it
puts out 60-65 watts using the same test equipment.
