Kenwood TK-7180H. I Bought this radio used so these settings were in here when I got it....
Test Mode
I see in the service manual settings, the Max high power adjustment is supposed to be 53 watts.
This radio is pumping out 80 watts and drawing some 12 amps....
Depending what tab is selected, it can be slightly lower. All above 60W but below 80W
How to proceed?
Just ease the slider on down some to reduce the power?
Or just forget about it because the radio doesn't typically transmit at that power?
Run it into a shop for a proper alignment?
What other settings are impacted by the transmit power settings?
