I never saw that much difference in my 566. However, 10, 12, and 15 m are all
about 90 W while the other bands are right at 100 W. this is with a
well-regulated supply volt has of 14.9 V. I found that at 13.8 V, output on 10,
12 and 15 m was lower and more variable. I now regulate closer to the actual
power input plug at the radio and so see less variation in supply voltage.
That said, I also found that it drew a bit more current on the 10 and 12 m
bands, so make sure the voltage to the radio isn't sagging under load.
