Just checked my Omni VI+. When in TUNE I can control the output from
0.25 watt to just over 100 watts with the PWR control. When in CW mode
the exact same thing happens, 0.25 to 100. I don't see the contitions
you describe here. The FWD position on the OMNI VI+ meter just comes
off the peg at 0.25 watt output.
