"The first is described in the FAQ on Reports on the Alignment Menu, and
involves adjusting the TX-GAIN setting on the alignment menu. This method
allows you to limit the output power on a band by band basis for each of the
bands (HF, 6m, 2m, 70cm). On HF, there appear to be individual settings for
160m, 20m, and 10m. Yaesu Tech Support reports that this adjustment is not
harmful, but that you might lose some of your TX signal to noise ratio. As
told to me, you could lose some headroom between your TX output and the
noise floor, resulting in a hissing noise on the signal."
