I currently have a GR1225 running UHF at 25W and it works, as programed, for what I need. There are some program changes I would like to try, but unfortunately I am afraid to modify the program for fear of messing up the only repeater I have. I have read it is possible to brick those if your not careful.
I may have the opportunity to get my hands on a FR4000 which I understand runs 50W continuous. I am considering getting the FR4000 to have a spare (or replace the GR1225) and allow me to mess with either one without fear of being without something. I also don't want to be any "louder" than I have to be, but the FR4000 appears to only have the option of 50W (H) or 10W (L). Is it possible to set it at say 25W?
I have looked at the service manual and I suspect that in order to do that I would have to go into adjustment mode and set either A06 HW POWER (high power) or A06 LW M POWER (low power) to a value that reads ~25W on a power meter.
Is that correct? Is there another way to set/run the FR4000 at 25W?
Thanks
