Hi Fred,
Thanks for the Watt report on your radio. I assume you used a
low SWR antenna or a wide frequency range quality dummy load.
Since I recently purchased this IC-7000 from the estate of a SK,
I am unaware of a firmware upgrade, but it might be a good idea to
check the Icom forum, if there is one at Icom's web site?
I will be checking for one in the next day or so.
Again Thank You, John N3AOF

John-
Now I see what you are getting at. The Hex digits did not change when I
turned the dial.
My numbers for 430M:
MIN 08
25% 41 00C8
50% 6B 018C
100% 0273
MAX A8
I checked power output on 430 (23 Watts) and 146 MHz (35 Watts) in FM
mode. I did not check voltage under load. I'm using a little MFJ-4125P
25 Amp switching supply.
Do you know if there has been a firmware upgrade for this radio?
