Hello- I installed a VX-6000 VHF for our local schools for their bus base station operations, and I can't find a way to adjust the transmit power, other then "high/ low"
The spec sheet says 110w adjustable to 5w.
I was under the assumption there would be different steps, i.e. 50, 25, 10, 5..... not just 110w & 5w. That's a huge difference. Motorola, you can pop in any wattage you want so long as you don't exceed the set limits. I've looked all over how to change the wattage, but I don't see anything to change steps other then High/ Low. Anyone have any ideas? We're licensed for 45w output & 15 ERP (I didn't do the licensing, it doesn't look right to me but I think I know why it's like that) So I don't want to TX at 110 and kick out a nearby station (hence the low ERP in the license) .. plus the power supply would be at its operation (but not peak) limit. I rather keep equipment cool and run lower power.
Thanks for any help
Jeremy
