Ken,
If you can whistle it up to 100W, then when you speak you will also be
putting out 100Watts.
Get a peak reading power meter and use that in line. It sounds like you
have an average reading meter and are expecting to see 100Watts indicated
while you are talking.
If my Autek WM 1 meter is on peak, I read 100W while I am speaking. When I
switch it to read average power and I continue speaking, it reads around 20
Watts. The radio is still putting out 100 Watts.
If you are seeing 60 Watts on speech with an average reading meter, I hate
to think how badly you are overdriving that radio.
73, Alek.
