[Yaesu] FT-77 low power on SSB?

[Peter Parker]

Hello

I've just bought a secondhand Yaesu FT-77S (the low power version of the FT-77).

I get about 10 watts output on CW, which I think is OK for this rig.   However on SSB, even with
a loud whistle, I only get about 3 watts out.  The ALC cuts in at quite a low power level.

Is there an adjustment that can increase the SSB output to 10 watts or more?

73,
