TK-805DH TX Wattage Adjustment Question..

[ywhic]

Anyone have a picture of the infamous VR5 adjustment inside the 805D models??

I'd like to make sure I am at 33-35 (35 is max wattage for the DH) and not cranked down.. is their tiny numbers on the POT or is it just turn clockwise..

Help appreciated..

I got lucky and snagged a DH with a 7000+ S/N for $95 shipped off EB.. due in tomorrow.

You really ought to have a wattmeter connected to the radio to do this.

Hi,

You will most likely only get a couple of watts out of it, and by making that adjustment only run the final amp that much hotter. A couple watt increase over thirty watts or so will really not make a noticeable difference.
My humble advice would be to make improvements to whatever you use for an antenna where you can realize gain measured in decibels (factors of ten)rather than a small percentage.

My 805DH runs great at 30 watts, no need to max it out because it will tax the p.a. in the radio.
